I checked out pricing on these parts, for good quality Moog ball joints
-Lower Ball Joints(2): $100
-Upper Ball Joints(2): $80
I was told that labor would be right at $275 for the installation of these
parts. Sounds like $600 is an extremely high price. So, I would say shop
around and find some place with better prices for installation. My 93
Dakota's ball joints are still fine now at 143,000 miles........what other
problems do you have with your truck?
