Default Quotes I received for some suspension work, opinions please.

Hey Guys,

I was going to add this to my "wobbly suspension" thread but wanted to start a new one to get everyone's input.

Took my car to Luxury Motor Works in Monrovia yesterday and they did a free inspection of the vehicle which was sweet. They confirmed that my lower ball joints are shot with about 5mm of play and my caster arms need to be changed as well. Their labor rate is about $85/hr, here's what I was quoted:

Ball Joints:
parts+labor = $340
*they sell the ball joints for $85 each
*Sewell sells for $61.47 with CL discount


Caster Arms(radius arms) decided to replace the complete arm with the 03-05 version instead of doing the Daizen bushings:
parts+labor = $ 571.74
*they sell both arms for $288
*Sewell sells both for $235.12 with CL discount


Let me know what you guys think, I need to get this stuff done asap but money is very tight right now, ANY help would be appreciated.


Regards,
Akash

That's a lot of money. I did what you have listed myself and it wasn't that hard at all.

Default Wow Sewell's service is top notch!

I order yesterday at 5pm pacific and got an e-mail this morning at 6am stating that the order has been picked and is ready for pickup. Also, I've been receiving e-mails every step of the way, I like! Can't wait to get these new ball joints and caster arms in!
