i was going to have my lateral link installed by a friend but i decided to check for installation prices at pro shops. with me supplying the link, charges ranged from 100 to 120. is this reasonable because it sounds a bit steep. they told me they have to take off the ball joint and check for other bends.

if i took it to my local mech (who's a friend of mine and will do it for free), is there going to be any really tricky parts to installing a new link?

btw i bent the link by sliding into a corner too fast and hitting an island. what are the chances of there being something else bent?

EASY.......smack it out with a drift, and the bolt the new one in...... EASY to do.

oh, i got the impression that "taking out a ball joint" was something tricky and would cost 100 bucks to do. hah

no... is super easy if you look up lateral link write up you will find info about it.

ah ok i read your write-up. i do have a question though. your write-up is mostly for changing out the boots, right? if i just needed to swap lateral links, i can just unbolt the two bolts, swap out links and bolt it back in, right?

yeah that has info on installing and uninstalling thats why I pointed you to it. Just unbolt old and put in new, but you wanna remove the endlink or endlinks for sway bar to get it back in with new one.
