    What would you expect to pay to have the front end rebuilt? I have all the parts..Bushings, tie rod ends, springs, shocks, etc. I just someone to put them on. What is a reasonable price to expect to pay for this?

    :Do No:

    Thanks,

    Jason, YOU can rebuild the front end of that car. There aint no majic to it. The mechanics are simple. You can borrow or rent the tools from an auto supply and follow the shop manual.
    Will save you a ton of money. Then you need to get the front end aligned after you finish rebuilding it. The only other time you would need a shop to do some rebuilding for you is if you rebuild the steering box or p/s pump.

    I know I can do it. I just don't have anywhere to do it. I live in a condo and the association will not allow me to work on my car anywhere. I can do minor repairs, but nothing that I will have to leave the car taken apart over night. I want to do this right and clean everything and powder coat it. Everywhere I have gone wants at least $700 for labor only, plus alignment. Seems kind of ridiculous! :eek2:
