Default Lower control arm replacement cost ?

Hi gang

Just came back from the dealer on a detail and a oil change . The dealer discovered my 04 52K SC has a slight tear in the lower control arms

Anyone had to replace the arms ?what does it run roughly ?

I guess I got to drive the garbage queen more these days

Parts are just under $300 and an easy DIY.

I said $150 each or $300 for the pair of lower arms.

You paid $300 each??

Are you sure $300 for both sides ? That is too cheap

Labor alone might be $500

The parts are in the $150 range per side for lowers, I can't believe labor would be more than 2 hours. It isn't that difficult of a job.

Here are some parts options:

Scottsdale Lexus quoted me $287.26 for both lower control arms, tax included.

They are also available all over the web, some being Toyota parts and some aftermarket, which are cheaper yet.
