Installing new control arms - Cost?
 
I have new meyle control arms (complete with ball joints installed). I also have m3 offset control arm bushings.

For those of you that have had your control arms replaced, what did the shop charge you?

I was quoted at $546.44 by a local shop, then $325 by my local Firestone shop and $538 at Zimbrick BMW. This includes a front end alignment too. Firestone lists 2.6 hours labor plus .8 hours for the control arm bushings, BMW says 4 hours. I had all my previous ball joints replaced by Firestone and they do a great job, so I'll probably go there. I'm just curious what others have paid.

I think I got mine installed for something like 300 then 50 dollars for a 4 wheel alignment. I also got a BBK, Coil-overs, urethane cabs, and rsm installed about the same time. I think total labor was 600 dollars.

You should like th meyles w/ metal ball joints that is the same as I have.
