Default Ball Joints/wheel hubs

I need to replace hub bearing assymblies and upper and lower ball joints on both sides. Got a bid for 680.00. Does sound like a descent price??? That is parts and labour.

Actually, no, that doesn't sound too bad. What's the warranty?

Not sure of the warranty for labour, but the parts are what the parts house is offering. I think the ball joints are lifetime and the hub assembly is 1 year.

4wd? If so that's a steal. A local tire and alignment shop wanted almost 800 for balljoints and alignment on my gpas 2wd.

+1 on that.

If it were me, while they are in there I would replace the u-joints as well and if it is a 2500 or 3500 series, the rotors with a new set of pads.
