No no... Too much, find an Indy, or do it yourself, aftermarket parts cheaper...

Nobody wants to own a money pit, and that's what they become if you are dependant on the dealer for repairs, if you can find a reasonable indie,or you can Diy, then no issues. You can get oem aftermarket parts that are fairly reasonable...

also just to chime in- the rubber boots can be replaced on their own for mere $s if the components themselves are not worn. Rock Auto sells the control arms ( no idea if OEM quality) for around US $220 each.

Cost me about ten bucks for a pack of ten rubber boots off an internet seller when I discovered mine each had a tear. Sorry I have no record of where I got them but it was not difficult.
