Ball Joint cost on P32?

I took my coach into a local shop last week due to it making a clunking noise when going around low speed sharp curves on a recent trip. They say it needs upper and lower ball joints on both sides, and have quoted $1,100 total parts and labor, does this sound like a fair price?


thanks


p..s I will probably have them install a set of Super Steer springs while they have it apart.

The parts are less than $200.00 for moog ball joints. The lowers do need to be pressed in so most likely the lower control arms will need to be removed. What about the alignment when completed? If you're going that far, what about tie rod ends and bell cranks?

I have the coach back now, and had to take it to another shop 50 miles away to get an alignment. Tie rod ends were good, and bell cranks were replaced with SuperSteer Bell cranks by the previous owner about 30,000 miles ago.


I don't have the invoice in front of me at the moment, but I think the parts cost was listed at closer to $275. Alignment was about $75 at the other shop.

Thank-you for the feedback. Looks like reasonable costs to me.
