Was this an automotive machine shop? Now when you say bring the part to them, you mean the steering knuckle arm and new balljoint? I guess I'll have to call around before I tear the front end apart. I haven't called the independant shopp that I bought the car from, to see what they would charge. The local MB dealer charges $70 a hours for labor. Where as the ind. shop charges $50 a hour. They service and restore MB, Porsche, and BMWs.
