ball joints question

Would anyone know about how much it would cost to get the ball joint replaced in one wheel?

Yeah, I had a CV joint in my Jeep go bad and I bought a new one for about $60 bucks and they gave me a $20 dollar core charge for the old part. It was quite easy to install, unless you have to take a strut out to get to it. In that case you will need a spring compressor.

not a cv joint, a ball joint. The ball joint is located on the top and bottom of the spindle between the spindle and the a-arms and allow the spindle to hinge. I can't give you a dollar amount because i've always replaced mine myself. Teh joints themselves are inexpensive, but most of the costs is labor since most of the times the coil springs/ torsion bars need to be removed or relaxed.
