well NAPA lists the upper control arm bushings for between $19
and $24 depending on 4x2 or 4x4. Then there is the option to replace the
entire
upper control arm assembly for $146. Labor I am guessing at about 2 hours
assuming
no frozen bolts. Then figure in an alignment. Given your locale. I would
say its in the
ball park. Given the control arm has to pulled to change the bushings, I'ld
have the ball joint done as well which is listed at $30. Keep in mind the
shop is going to mark up the parts
normal is 1.5.
