Ball Joint Replacement, '96 Regal
Service tech says the right front ball joint is bad. $250 for parts, labor and alignment. Is this a DIY project? Looks like the parts are $40-$60 plus I'll need a $60 alignment. How much work am I looking at to save $120?

Re: Ball Joint Replacement, '96 Regal
Alignment is not a necessary part of this job unless an alignment was done with the ball joint bad. You will need to chisel out the rivets, this can be a pita without an air chisel.

Chiseling rivets. Not in my skill set. I've got 5 month old tires on this car that are meant to go 80K. I'll probably do the alignment to protect that investment. Thanks for the advice as always!

Re: Ball Joint Replacement, '96 Regal
i had mine done to for 250.. with the allignment i'm not complaining i think it was a very reasonable offer. i know someone with a ford escort and paid 350.... untill now my car has been great but now its pretty much getting to old and hope everything lasts for a little while untill i can get a new one. hope yours is still runing nicely its a very nice ride
