When I had my mom's shop replace my hoses and charge my AC, they told me that I need to replace the front control arms. The estimate was $635, with labor at $75 an hour.
I do not have any idea where to get labor for $75 an hour down here.
I
think that my service plan should cover this, minus my $100 deductible, although I expect them to have me pay for more.
Sometimes I hear clicking when I brake or steer, but not constant clicking, like with CV joints.
My service plan specifies:
Quote:
Steering: Power steering pump; steering box; rack and pinion; pitman arm; idler arm; tie rods; tie rod ends and drag link.
Front and Rear Suspension: Upper and lower control arms, shafts and bearings or bushings; upper and lower ball joints; king pins and bushings; spindle and spindle support; torsion bars and bushings; leaf springs, shackles and bushings; coil springs; stabilizer bar, linkage and bushings. MacPherson strut housing, strut bar and bushing; wheel bearings

The plan covers upper and lower control arms, while the shop said that the front control arms need replacing.
Should those refer to the same thing, or might the company use a different name for the same thing?
Thank you so much! I hope that you are having a great weekend!
