How much should it cost to change a lower control arm in a 1993 old achieva, plus ball joint.?

I'm guessing this is on a 93 Achieva S, not SL, but here's a ballpark figure:



OEM (aka 'brand-new'):



Lower control arm assembly - approximately $212

knuckle (aka ball joint) $253

labor $100

alignment $50



LKQ (like kind and quality, aka 'used')



What's nice about your Achieva is that on the inside, it's exactly like a Pontiac Grand Am, a Buick Skylark, a Chevy Corsica, etc. Used parts are numerous and readily available.



Expect to pay about $65-75 for the lower control arm, and about the same for the ball joint; plus labor and alignment, about another $100-150.How much should it cost to change a lower control arm in a 1993 old achieva, plus ball joint.?i own a repair shop,and the labor part of it cost around 50 bucks to do,,the part you can get used from a good junk yard for around 35 bucks,,so that isn't to bad of a repair to have to do,,but that's what i charge,,you can use this price to help save you some money on the repair,,good luck,i hope this help,s.,,have a good x-mas.
