What sort of price should I expect to pay for..

[Typhoon]

a new lower ball joint and getting it fitted? Just at a guesstimate!

 

[clancy]

Ball joints are generally £15-25 plus labour, say an hour at £40

So I'd say around £55 ish. Unless your car has expensive ball joints or they are a t**t to do on your car

Yeah on a 172 but not on a meg or 197, they are expensive.

Ah that sucks then, are they harder to do ?

Just looked on euro car parts, the ball joint is £12 I think

 

[Dan@SJM]

They are part of the swivel hub. £225 was the last one I did.

I was happy when I saw £55 but then @Dan@SJM came in, pulled my heart out, stamped on it, poured fuel over it, set it alight, stamped on it again and put it back inside me.

Was that all in?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Yes that's genuine parts and labour.

Ah, jahesus! A lot more than I was expecting! I'm assuming it is that, loud pitch squeak on turn, normally when stationary.
