Ball Joint And U-Joint?

[silverram03]

I just received the news that my truck needs upper and lower ball joints as well as u-joints at both wheels while trying to get my truck aligned today. Thank god my truck is under warranty. My question is how much are the premium parts to complete this repair and the labor to do it if I was not under warranty, I'm guessing close to $2,000?

I did both u-joints in the front of my 04, 04. 5 and 05 when they were needed... . we pressed apart the hub and cleaned and greased the bearings...

U-Joints were something like $68. 00 for the set... We destroyed a dust cover that was $20 from the dealer on one of the trucks. .

And anywhere from 4 hours on one truck to I think 12 hours on the worst one... . We've not done ball joints or tie rod ends...

We did clean all the parts and put never-seize on all mating surfaces... We were not able to find greaseable joints for the American Axle... Only factory joints... .

Hope this helps. .
