Re: ball joint pricing
Depending on where NTB gets their parts, prices vary a lot. I would think
the labor would be about 2 hours + front end alignment.
I think your best price would be no less than $220 parts, $240 labor. This
would include the front end alignment.

Napa sez (note I price NCP Napa Chassis Part and not MRC)
MRC is the lower end and just isn't that good a part.
MRC is about 25$ each for upper and lower.
Ball Joint Upper NCP 2601291 $50
Ball Joint Lower NCP 2601292 $56
So that's $212 in parts for both sides. (plus tax)
While your in there may as well check all the steering joints and track bar.

Well to just pull the axles and replace seals they want that kind of
money so changing the ball joints on top of pulling the axles, well.....
It is a pretty labor intensive job.
I would still shop around for pricing.
