I got quoted over 600 to do all 4 and a wheel bearing. That's just the labour.
I bought a ball joint press for 100 bucks and did them myself, too easy.

Bluex did his by himself too, I don't think it's too bad of a job.

Its was $150 to rent a ball joint press an took me about 5 hrs to do all four. I had to grind an drill the uppers...

I honesly wouldnt pay someone to do it... around here you can rent the tool for like 30 bucks.. and some parts store even rent them out, then you get your money back once you bring it back! their easy to do to if you have the tool!

I got my money back when I took the tools back, but in order to "rent" them you have to pay full price for them an have them back in 48 hrs. All the parts stores are that way....

If you have a rivet gun and a ball joint press, do it yourself. The uppers are worse than the lowers, IMO.

They all were much easier than everyone said. Check out my build thread. I used a pusher and cup on the lowers, but the arms were out.
