[Victor Newman]

79,000 miles on ODO. 1FTZR15V1YTA16032. Was told by a shop that I have been to before.....that they are worn out and need replacing. I am a mechanic know nothing. Bought in 2006 with 72,000 miles. NAPA parts are $885 for upper and lower....and labor will be 5-6 hours for $550. 4WD and Torsion Bar.........

Sound reasonable ?
Thank you.

885?!?!?!??!??!?!?! they made of gold? iirc even the nice ones arent above 200, no? labor i can see, yes. i dont think the parts cost is reasonable however.

Check rockauto for parts pricing.

Compare to Moog, motor craft , acDelco brands.
Napa parts are good but higher priced.

5-6 hours is not really far off I guess, I'd think a pro could work faster.

Add to bill a complete front alignment. It's definitely needed. If tearing down this far, tie rod ends should be considered as replacing them later will require another alignment.
