Price for front end rebuild

[dean1997sport]

I need to find out wat would be a fair price for a front end rebuild , upper control arms, lower ball joints and inner and outter tierods (both sides) I have no way to do it my self I dont have a garage ( I live in an apt), or if any one knows a good place I could take it to get it done or a place I could get a compleate kit with all the parts cheap. Oh 97 sport 2WD 2 dr.

Thanks in advance

I live in MA so I can't recommend a shop. But for parts check out Rock Auto and do a Google search on "Rock Auto discount code" and you will find 5% off code.

Good luck.

I am going to do the uppers at my work in the parking lot, I went through the tech articles and its seems really easy the lowers might maybe not I have never done it before. I think I will call rockauto no one seems to have heard any thing about A1 autoparts which moog ball joints should I get there seem to be 3 different ones listed? and the uppers what is the advantage of getting the one piece design over the two piece?

I would stick with a brand name like Moog for these parts. You don't want to do this job again. Rockauto is a great place to order from and there are 5% savings codes around. Don't look to save a few bucks here on China parts. Moog parts I believe have lifetime warranties.

Late last summer I bought & installed the ebay rebuild kit which was cheap (around $190 shipped) because it uses generic parts.

Kit was delivered and installed without a problem.

I noticed an immediate improvement in the firmness of steering and road handling. Front end noise greatly decreased, but it's not perfect.

The new ball joints groan going over speed bumps and steep driveways over 10 mph.

This past winter, sway bar bushing failed after I hit a pot hot on the highway going about 60mph. I replaced them with a made in America part from NapaAuto.

In a nutshell, I didn't use the best parts and got what I paid for. They are better than the old worn out parts they replaced by leaps and bounds. Their cheap enough to replace three times over before it approaches the cost of Moog. Something to consider if you dont plan on getting another 150,000 miles or 10 years out of your truck.

Yea I agree I am just worried about the lower ball joints that seems a little difficult, I just checked Ebay and it is $190 shipped.
