    325 divided by say 75 an hour gives the shop 4.3 hours to install uppers and lowers and align as they install the ball joints. sounds pretty cheap to me,but Im a bitter auto tech at a dealer. Just kidding you made the right choice with the greasable ball joints. You should find that the steering dosent feel as stiff over time also and gets freer(is that a word) after a LOF. does the truck wonder on the highway? Were installing a chassis piece on one of our trucks that ties the frt frame horns together and also ties in the pitman arm with a bearing.
    Dick call me about your truck we may be able to fix it for less if you didnt already doit.

    I was thinking the same thing. It'd take me a full day I bet.

    Of course it does! We never tell the truck where we're going.....

    Ball joints at 50K miles? That is just BS. I just replaced the original tires on my '04 F250 at 101k miles with the same exact tire.
