My labor is the worst part, or in Mike's case, " shop supplies ".
I didn't study the parts quote very closely, but the Moog ball joints I think were a little over $200. I was shocked at how much cheaper the wheel bearing assemblies have gotten, $190ish these days. Warn premiums were $230ish. Thirty bucks for some u-joints since its apart, and top it off with a $100 worth of seals. Of course you can go to China Zone to save some money to if need be.

I know Ford upgraded the hubs and bearings for the 2005 trucks, not sure what that stuff costs. But the failure rate has been much lower.
