Anyone know the labor time for a complete control arm set..
done by a professional with a lift/proper tools, etc. I just ordered the Blau kit. I know a few of you guys DIY, but I don't quite trust myself..

Depends if the tie rods are frozen or not
I would say book time for a set of control arms and tie rod ends is probably about 6 hours, plus you need an alignment.
But if that bolt that pinches the upper control arms is stuck or if the tie rod ends are frozen, easily add 1-3 extra hours.
I did everything mentioned, plus changed the pads on all four wheels and installed a S8 suspension, it took me something like 14 back breaking hours, plus it needed an alignment.
Next time, I leave it to the professionals.
