pay at a shop
I hope your joking unless you like pissing money out the window [:'(] Even if you don't know how to do it it'll be a learning experiance for sure! And even if you have to buy a specialty tool, which you do for ball joints, the tool will cost as much as 1 hours labor at a shop...

Do it yourself!! We can help you through it!

I just replace all 4 on my 99. I bought them at Autozone, cost me $180 total and took 3 hours to do. Do the tie rods while you're in there too.
