Hi guys! I’m new here but i come to this forum a lot when i do some of my own maintenance. Well, some of the maintenance i just can’t do, this is the first car i’ve worked on and i’m not messing with suspension lol.
So my question is, how much would a reasonable quote be for
-Tie rod ends inner and outer
-1 ball joint
on a g35 2004 coupe
The mechanic i went to said that he’d be getting performance parts, that i shouldn’t get anything less, is this true?
my car is lowered a lot if that makes a difference.
I’m just now really getting into cars and since i’m a female i don’t want to end up getting overpriced somewhere since im not super knowledgeable on the topic yet and it’d be easy to pull one over on me right now lol, figured i’d consult here since this is where i’ve always came for any other info.
Thanks in advance! you all be safe! here’s a pic of my babes
The inner/outer tie rod ends are pretty straightforward, I would guess probably 2-3 hours of labor.
Ball joint can be more involved depending on which one, if it's the compression rod then probably 4 hours labor, if it's the steering knuckle one probably 2-3 hours labor.
Parts, inner/outer tie rod ends roughly $250, compression rod roughly $200, steering knuckle ball joint roughly $50
Then you are looking at a 4 wheel alignment which will run another $100-$150 or so.
