US $393.54 for the whole front end rebuilt apart from tie rod ends (US $41.55 x 2). Drives so much better.
All up US $476.64 plus shipping and I did all the work myself. You will need a ball joint separator tool but nothing else apart from the normal hand tools and a torque wrench.
If I lived in the US, the Meyle HD kit will replace your whole front and rear for US $1,000.84

That kit is incomplete. The Meyle kit is better.
What parts are missing? There are only 20 parts to change.
