Quoted $1484.59 for control arms. Rip-off?

It takes 30mins to replace a control arm. It would take 2 hours to take the control arm out, knock the busing out and press a new one in.

But, I did pay 347.10$ in 2007 for a control arm. Honestly, for such an old car, just get an aftermarket control arm.

+1 on the aftermarket parts. If you can do the work yourself safely you will save a bundle.

Toyota brand parts from the states are a good option too. I replaced my clutch, pressure plate, and release bearing for $240 by buying online from the states. Would have cost $575 from the dealer here in NS.
