I attached the process for the ball joints and control arms, and then the bearings for the front. Clearly you need to review both processes because you can remove the wheel hubs as you are going to get the control arms. In other words they overlap so when you get the hub off, you can just reassembly the control arms with the new hub bearing.

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks

I know my wheel bearings are shot too. How would I replace all 3 of them (Control arms, ball joints and wheel bearings)? Do you have an estimate on how much it would cost?

It is hard for us to provide an estimate because it is dependent on the labor rate of the shop. However, here are the parts and labor time for each job. Again, this is going to have overlap because to do the control arms and ball joints you need to remove the hub and bearings. This means you would just add the cost of the part and no additional labor. So it looks like it should be around 2.5 to 3 hours and a few hundred dollars in parts.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks
