trailing arms
That is still breaking the bank pricing it looks like to me. Have seen several vendors that will rebuild yours for around $400 each side. Still seems high but there is several hours of labor involved.

799 a side is crazy, at least they give you SS parking brakes...that cost me 50.00 a few years ago to put it on my current one.
The other post sounds a little fishy to me. $269.99 "IF Your cores pass or inspection????????" Not sure I would trust that one unless I could walk in to the location and get mine back if needed.
Sorry for posting, it just ticks me off when I see this.

Many years back I went to a Bloomington Gold class where they showed you how to rebuild these yourself. Lots of work using tools that most people don't own and skill levels way beyond my level of experience.

Going through this right now myself. Do you have cores? Ended up buying new bare arms with bushings installed from vettevissions . $335 for the pair shipped free, no cores needed. You can get your spindle assembly rebuilt at bair's for $175 a piece. Or the whole arm rebuilt for $325 wo rotor, $375 with. I'm attempting to rebuild the spindle assembly myself. Ordered the tools, now just ordered new spindles ( didn't plan on that). I like doing things myself, that's part of the fun of it for me , or lets say the whole experience. Think though, probably should have sent the spindles to bairs. We'll soon see. By the way bought and had stuff rebuilt from bairs, real happy with them.
