auto experts: ball joints and control arms?

But if you've never done suspension work, it could be a little daunting if you encounter rust or a stuck bolt.

I never have... and probably never will. :wink:

I was just asking because of the large variance in estimates from a few shops depending on what they were actually replacing.

A few months back, my regular shop quoted me just over $700. That's for control arms, too. Recently, I decided to check online and found a quote for ball joints at under $300. Then I checked with a third shop who was surprised that they sell ball joints alone, and told me I would very likely have control arm bushings that needed to be replaced as well.

I guess I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and pay the money.
