Default What's it cost for the front four ball jonts?

My 13 year old 1500 is wearing out. 246k miles. I thought it needed aligning and the shop called and said it needs all new ball joints. They are all original. Should it cost $900-1000 for the four?

For a dealer with factory parts?
If yes seems a bit high, about right for a 2500 if a dealer is doing the work

My truck is a bit different but I bought all Moog parts to include all tie rods, bar ends and 4 ball joints off of EBay for $300...a freaking steal compared to what the stealership and local parts stores wanted. I'm currently installing them myself; a battle, but I will win. I also threw in a double shock steering stabilizer from skyjacker to help out with the 18" tires and steering.

That's not bad for the good moog ones.$900 is way to much.He didn't say if it was a 4x4.

It would help if you filled out your profile info so we'd know if your truck was 2 or 4 wheel drive. There's a difference in repair cost between the two.
