agreed.
I'm paying $300 for the labor on those parts listed above.
$300@$25/hr = 12 hours for that job.... maybe, maybe not...
And I'm not saying there isn't, i said it "sounded steep as hell to me". but i'm also the kind of guy that buys a $25 dollar CAI, and builds his own heat shield (with parts I traded another member for no less! *thanks again ugly_monkey*) So me being a cheap bastard was not intended to further any stereotypes.

 

im workin on my ball joints right now disassembly no problem cheap tool but the lower ball joint bolt wants to spin cant torque down wtf??? ps full size had to press them in

 

we wouldnt be on this website if we wanted to hire a mechanic. and 12-25 an hour is just the mechanics pay rate and they charge by the shops rate which can range from 75 to 125 dollars an hour. remember the shop has to pay for the facilities, helpers, insurance, benefits and expensive equipment. so they have to charge that much trust me the balljoints are doable just read the instructions carefully
