Default Suspension: Ball Joints & Shocks Install

My 2004 SXT seems like it needs all the BJs and Shocks replaced.

What is a decent price on parts and labor?

Thinking of going Moog bjs and Monroe Shocks (the high end ones)

Well if you go to a shop it will cost upwards of 1000-1200 to have all 4 bj's and shocks replaced...

Shocks are easy and so are the upper ball joints. Lower ball joints are a little more difficult. I bought the reflex shocks from NAPA (lifetime warranty) and they were $50 a piece and the NAPA greeseable ball joints where around $65 a piece.
