I just got an awesome 1998 F-150 4.6 Super Cab 4x4 the other day perfect shape 128k miles leveled on 33" tires only problem is the steering is just a little loose above 50mph.

So I went and got new Moog ball joints, tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm & upper control arms. I was gonna do it myself but I really need to work on my boat this weekend so I decided to have a local shop put it all on.

My only question is how many labor hours should a reasonable shop charge for lower ball joints, tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm & upper control arms?

 

Standard = hrs.

 

Thats cool where did you get this from?

I was quoted $365 for the lower ball joints (cant remember if this included upper control arms too) & $318 for the pitman arm

 

from personal experience.. itd take prolly 6 hours or so.. if ur slackin..

 

PM me

 

$365 just for lowers. I'd do that for that much anytime. With airtool and the right press, maybe 1 1/2 hours per wheel. I did the whole front end uppers lowers, tie rods and endlinks in about 5 hours on a 98.

 

It's at the shop now they said $720 to do it all and give it an alignment I'd say that's pretty good!

 

I went To BIG O and had new brakes, rotors, ball joints, 1 upper control arm, tie rod ends installed and an allignment for $600.
