I needed upper ball joints and got a quote for doing that.

When I tried to order them, I found out that these were no longer available from THIS local seller, so I ordered upper control arms because they would have new bushings as well!

When I got as new quote for replacing the upper control arms, the LABOR was HIGHER (I already had the parts) , despite 4 less operations being needed (pressing the ball joint out and pressing the new ball joints IN times 2.

Does anyone have a labor manual to give me the number of hours needed for replacing both upper control arms?

If do can, will you check the lower ball joint hours needed as well, please?

I KNOW that an alignment is needed.

I have a 2005 4 door Ram 1500 4WD with the 4.7 L engine, with A/C.

THANKS in Advance!
