I have been informed that my ball joints in the front are loose and are popping over bumps, and that eventually need to replaced. The repair shop has indicated that the joints are part of the control arm assembly and that they need to relaced all at once.
They are quoting me a cost of 490 plus an alignment
Is it necessary to replace the contol arms and joints
are they part of the same assembly? Does that price seem reasonable?
