Ball Joints cost?

I went to get ball joints for the d30 yesterday and was shocked at the prices. First I asked about the offset ones and those were just over $100 each. The standard replacement ball joints were something like $68 each. This was at NAPA. What is a good price for ball joints? I expected it to be much lower.

Autozone, I paid $118 for all four. I rented the ball joint press from them while I was at it (yes, you'll need it and a good breaker bar too.) I believe the lower ones through them are by Dana and the uppers were by McQuay-Norris. Both reputable brands.

Also, quadratec has kits that contain the upper and lower for $46.95 http://www.quadratec.com/cgi-bin/sg...0&UREQA=1&UREQB=2&FNM=13&UID=2003071614500750

That'll run you a little less, but I'm not sure what shipping would bring that price up to. That's why I decided to do the Autozone route.

As far as NAPA and D30 stuff I like their axle U-joints. They may cost a bit more but, they are way better quality than the cheapies they have at Autozone and Advanced Auto Parts made by BruteForce.

Windrock Offroad has really good prices...i got the one for ethe Give -Away Xj there

I got mine at 4WD hardware for $20 per joint, upper or lower. I think it was right at $50 to my door for one upper and one lower---Dave
