Wow 800 huh? I had mine quoted at $600... so I went out and bough the big
c-clamp and balljoints and did it myself for less than half. Some people
said you can just pop them out with a hammer but I couldn't no matter how
hard I popped them with a 3lb hammer, so I had to use the c-clamp, AND hit
it with the hammer.

Related question, what are the symptoms of worn ball joints? My
Cherokee is the only "modern" vehicle (except for a Ford Granada, the
2nd best car I ever had) that I've had long enough to be concerned about
the ball joints, and the Jeep has over 300,000 miles on it.

(That Granada was a 2dr, battleship gray six cylinder with a 4 speed,
bought it with 100k on it, sold it with 200k, got more than I paid, and
the only thing other than brakes that had to be replaced was an $18
water pump!)

Like death wobble but scarier. Also, a wheel and brake assembly flying off
is a good sign that ball joint was going out.
