Yep REALLY...maybe try reading what I wrote...never did I say for him to do it himself, not one time! What I said was "some of you must have more money than brains!" telling the OP that $1000 is a good price for two ball joints! Sure if you have cash to burn and a $1000 is cigar lighting paper then go for it.
Lets look at your post shell we. You paid a shop $100 to do an alignment!? Wow they are $35 here, unless you opt for the lifetime alignment then it's right near $100.
"Add it up and I had 10.5 hrs of time $200 in parts, $50 rental, 105 miles of driving (6 gallons of gas at $2.80 per gallon back then."
Sorry you don't have the tools to do the job, but taking 10.5 hours to change two ball joints is crazy. Maybe you should have spent the $1000 if you don't have the tools to do the work!
My post was telling the OP to go to a different shop, not to do it himself. Before you slam someone make sure you have the facts right!
