Do you know which ball joints need to be replaced? Is the truck 2 or 4 wheel drive?

So you need to know about what it should cost for the lower ball joints and not the uppers?

If you need the uppers you can expect to pay about $600 because the ball joints come with the entire upper arm. The lowers should run about $300, and yes it should be realigned afterwards. Of course these prices will vary slightly. If you would like more information just let me know.
