I took my car in today because of a popping noise. They called back and said they have to replace the ball joints and steering knuckle. All for 50.00. Anyone had these items replaced and know what the cost would have been if I were to pay out of pocket for all the problems???

Alot of $
Knuckles are well over $100 each. Ball joints don't remember off the top of my head. Plus labor will be $$ ~ 3+ hrs I think. This is OEM btw, dunno on aftermarket. --------------------  |

I was actually wrong about the knuckle, they called back today to tell me they were finished and went over what they replaced, it was both ball joints and the steering rack. Not sure if that's more expensive than a knuckle, or even what the steering rack entails...but either way, I still only pay 50.00 -------------------- "Somebody give me a fire...so I can burn this city down." - Widespread Panic
