I need to replace the usual stuff on the front suspension. Basically replace shock inserts, ball joints, tie rods, with a new crossmember and drop spacer kit.

I would like to tackle this myself but I fear it will take me too many weekends and I won't have all the tools and presses I may need. My enthusiasm will be deflated very quickly.

So I decided to get some quotes. So far I have heard everything from what kind of car is that to $1200 for the job.

Again I would do this myself because I am a Teener CSOB but don't want to have the car out of action with an unknown resolve.

For a mechanic who knows what he/she is doing; what should this cost?

Anyone close by want some side work?
