fair price for front end rebuild
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?
73 up parts are cheaper than 72 back. $300 for everything is light on the price.
Lower ball joints $60 x 2 = $120.
Upper ball joints $25 x 2 = $50.
Tie Rod ends $20 x 4 = $80.
Upper Control Arm Bushings $37.
Lower Control Arm Bushings $16 x 2 = $32.
Pitman Arm Manual Steering $68. Power Steering $82.00
Idler Arm $53.
Lower Control Arm Bumper $10 x 2 = $20.
Upper Control Arm Bumper $8 x 2 = $16.
I rounded everything up to the nearest dollar and
figured resusing the tie rod sleeves for these totals $476 with manual steering and $490 power steering. Prices don't include tax or strut rod bushings or anything else I forgot. Tie rod sleeves $21 x 2 = $42. These are retail prices and if you check
www.rockauto.com you will be able to save some money. All compared parts are Moog.
Lower ball joints $37 x 2 = $74.
Upper ball joints $15 x 2 = $30.
Tie Rod ends $12 x 2 = $24.
Tie Rod ends $13 x2 $26
Upper Control Arm Bushings $23.
Lower Control Arm Bushings $11 x 2 = $22.
Pitman Arm Manual Steering $49. Power Steering $51.
Idler Arm $33.
Lower Control Arm Bumper $6 x 2 = $12.
Upper Control Arm Bumper $5 x 2 = $10.
I rounded everything up to the nearest dollar and
figured resusing the tie rod sleeves for these totals $304 with manual steering and $306 power steering. Prices don't include shipping or strut rod bushings or anything else I forgot.
