I know the dealership can be a bit expensive but the price ($2800) was a bit astronomical in my opinion. I knew the profit margin on this job was high because the guy helping me offered a 15% discount immediately. Is this something that can be a DYI project? I swapped the H frame bushings on my daughters 2002 Ford Taurus so I have a little experience with a jack and tools. How long would a job like this take? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Yes I made the DIY. Cost should be around $350 a side. Should do both sides. And then an alignment.
