Actual cost for repair varies depending on the price of the part and the hour rate of the shop. a Conservative estimate is over two hundred dollars.

If you do it yourself plan on spending about $50 per ball joint. Repair costs vary greatly by shop and region so a shop repair can cost between $500 and $1,000 to replace all your vehicle's ball joints. It pays to shop around.

The part will cost $35 to $55, but, the labor is outrageous. A Ford Dealer quoted $575 to replace the ball joint plus $99 for alignment.
