$200 ball joint
I went to get my front end alined. I dropped it off that the shop then 35 min they call me back saying that they have to install a $200 ball jonit to fix my camber that is 1 degree off. To my this guy is full of it. Is there a way to fix this without paying 400 bucks?

as stated, def do it yourself. i did mine in less than a day, and i didn't have to pay labor. However I rented the ball joint set from advanced auto which set me back 107, but i got that money back the very next day. it's cheaper, and makes you feel better knowing you did something someone else may pay that crazy a$$ 400 bucks for.
Good Luck

From a guy that aligns jeeps on the reg. 1 deg ain't that bad.
And just so you guys know. The part that they are trying to sell him is a offset ball joint. Not your average ball joint. There about $90 retail.
