Default How much to do Control Arm bushings/ball joints/bearings??

my 1994 90S needs some serious front end work. I bought it a few years ago for winter use but I pulled the motor apart on my summer ride and i don't have the time to even get to work on it or work on the audi. I am driving the Audi right now since its all I have. I would tackle the work on the Audi myself, but like I said , no time. I have a new job and i am driving the Audi more and a longer distance. I need to find a shop in Massachusetts to do this before the front end puts me into a guard rail.

Default oh, don't know. Factor parts at premium

like most wrenches do and at least $75 for a decent Audi mechanic. You're looking at like 3 hours. I would expect to pay at leat $400. WAY not worth it to me.
