Rental
Last set of ball joints I did, it was $100 deposit at bumper to bumper, free rental, just have to leave the deposit until you return the tool. I personally think you may want to talk to a different mechanic, something sounds fishy with the one you have now......

Thanks again for the reply's. This mechanic was really giving me the run around. Finally got him to tally everything up and it came to $1100. Called Bumper to Bumper and they are on sale now. $250 for two upper and two lower, plus another $200 for vacuum seals and dust covers. $700 savings, priceless! I really appreciate the help guys.

Check your local Ford House.I bought all the seals,u-joints,and o-rings from them and they were right about the same price as your local parts chains.All Motorcraft stuff.Same part numbers as in the write up I sent you.
