Default Lower ball joing replacement?

Had my truck checked out at the shop and they said I need a new one, which would explain the noise. It is a 04 4x4, how hard is it to replace them? They wanted 130 for the part, but autozone has it for 45, I can prolly get a deal with labor.

if you give me a little bit of time you'll have a full blown DIY from me.

We replaced uppers and lowers on my dads 2nd Gen Ram. We bought them from AZ and never had an issue from them.

definatley do both sides cause you'll need an alignment after.

Most shops charge the customer List price of whatever they buy from Napa or local auto dirtibutor. When they buy, they ask what the list price is and that's how they come up with that figure. it's called dealer quoting the customer. At least that's what i call it.
