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. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 02-03-2006, 05:25 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: England, UK Posts: 1,288 | i paid £100 or $180 but that was ball joint only.... __________________ 1995 BMW 316i Cosmos Black Mods: • Magnex Cat-Back Exhaust • Smoked Corner Lights + Repeators • M3 17" Wheels • De-Baffled Air Box • AC HandBrake Handle and Gear Knob • DEPO Euro Epsiloids + Predator Chronium Rings • Chrome Interior bits •IE Poly-Urethane RSFMs • Kenwood Power Series Audio • Powder Coated e36 325 Front Callipers • Sports Seats | | | 02-03-2006, 05:26 PM | #3 | doesn't care about you.

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. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
