Making that squeaking noise?
I don't notice any noise. I didn't know anything was wrong. I bought the car dirt cheap in Nov 2013 and haven't replaced the tires. The tires are now worn out so I'm assuming the ball joints aren't even that bad. I know the dealer is just a typical dealership crook but I'm really just curious as to how far off base his pricing is compared to others if I hypothetically do need new ball joints.

Yeah I bought my Explorer real cheap as well. About 2 years ago it started squeaking some when I would go over bumps and it was the ball joints.
Like I said I got mine done for about $750, I wish I was even slightly handy at car stuff because watching youtube videos it didnt seem that hard to replace them yourself. But I am sure others can chime in on that.
The beast still runs like a champ though.

why replace just the ball joints when the entire control arm costs less than $40 and is cheaper labor to replaces the entire control arm than it is to drill rivets on ball joints or press them in and out
