fair price for front end rebuild

The problem is that by the time you buy all the parts, there isn't much left over for labor. Moog parts will cost the shop in the neighborhood of $500 for the complete front end kit. But, like I said earlier you need to look at what all they are replacing for that money. I do control arms for $50/pair plus parts. That includes the hot tank and bead blasting plus paint AND removing slop from the LCAs. It goes up from there for a complete rebuild and detail.


Not to hi jack the thread, I'm getting ready to buy Moog parts for my 74 Dart Sport and the parts store quoted me just over 300 for parts. I told them I wanted everything including the pitman arm. Are they missing something here?
