I ordered new break pads OEM, discs (Mountain-maid in Japan) are these oem? Tie rods and ball joints will in tomorrow from Swell.

I went to a mechanic yesterday-he quoted me around $200.00 for all the installations IF the ball joints are easy to install. He said he'll look at the ball joints first and then tell me the real price. I am pretty sure he knows what he is doing-I see a lot of cars at his shop and he works a lot with foreign cars. The good thing is I can watch him while is working on my car....

Is $200 a good price for all this?

BTW. Pics of my car will be coming soon...

I recently did lower ball joints, pads, and rear rotors and if I could have gotten it done for 200$ I would have. You will need to add an alignment though after the ball joint install.

ball joints are easy to replace, i did it with my own handtools.

Since this mechanic is doing everything else I am going to just let him install the ball joints as well.

Is the car driveable without the alignment? I think I'll have to drive to another shop for the alignment.
