Some Ford E-150 owners report experiencing challenges when requesting estimates for replacing the upper and lower ball joints on the passenger side, particularly due to varying labor costs associated with the complex suspension disassembly and reassembly required for the job. Additionally, owners note that the cost of ball joints can fluctuate based on brand and quality, with a preference for OEM parts to ensure durability. After the replacement, many find that a wheel alignment is necessary to maintain proper handling and tire wear, which adds to the overall expense. Furthermore, during inspections, mechanics may identify other issues that require attention, leading to potential additional repair costs. Lastly, some owners emphasize the importance of inquiring about warranties on both parts and labor to ensure peace of mind regarding the replacement work.
