cost of F150 ball joint replacement

I have a 2003 F150 2WD supercab 4.6L V8. I just got a price of $748.00 to replace the upper and lower ball joints on each side as well as the idler arm in the middle and get an alignment. the labor was 5.30 hours. Does this look in line with what is normally charged and the hours to do it?
Thanks

That is not a bad price at all for everything listed.

I just had 4 ball joints replaced on a 2000 superduty F250 2wd truck. The 4 moog joints were $112 and a shop did the labor for $200 so you could shop around and get a better price in my opinion. $312 total on the first part on what you want done.

Does the alignment include the cost of the new cam bolts for the upper control arm?

Thanks guys. I got another price this morning and it was about $50 higher. I'm going with the first one since I know the folks there. Thanks for your input.
