then the mechanic is trying to rip you off!

if he is any sort of mechanic with a half decent workshop he would have atleast a 10 ton press and some dyes tell him they don't cost nothing to press out just a bit of arm movement on the press lever!

ball joint=$30?
LCA=$300?

the arms have to be removed either way so whats he fuckin about at?

Any mechanic worth his ass will have a ball joint tool.

I replaced BOTH my ball joints in a matter of 30 minutes. The LCA's stayed bolted to the car.

He sounds like a lazy ass is what he sounds like.

There is another thread out there that says you can buy 95-98 Hyundai Sonata BJ and they are the same. He even gives the part numbers

search it out and you will find it

I will be bringing my car to a more realistic and reliable mechanic to get BJ pressed in. Thanks so much for everyone's insight.
