How many people actually say "Ok, go ahead and fix it" and pay that kind of money. I understand flat-rate and OEM parts and all that crap but nearly 30 times the price of just the part? Lifetime warranty from Autozone by the way. 1 year from the dealer.

That's probably because dealers don't bother changing just the balljoint. Their parts (control arm) always come with the ball joint.
