Default Cost for new ball joints?

Just curious what it might cost me to have new ball joints installed on an 87 vette?

Depending on what all you need, (ie. new bushings) it will be waaay easier and not much more expensive than whole new OEM control arms from Corvette Recycling.

Default Ball Joints versus Control arms

Great advice! I wish I'd seen how inexpensive it was to get the control arms with t he ball joints already pressed in.
