I'll guess the most of the $1200.- is labor
If you have the time, and proper wrenches, you can do it yourself
You'll need a hydraulic hand)press for the upper control arm bushings
When you follow the prescription, and while busy a lot becomes clear
Here is a picture of the lower ball joint from Rock Auto.

I took my 63 to the shop today for a front end alignment. I had turned up the torsion bars for more ground clearance. Well they told me I need new ball joints upper and lower and new tie rod ends, plus a radius arm bushing (?).
They estimated the job at $1200. I'm thinking I can do most of the work myself and save $$$$. I've priced the parts on Rock Auto and they are probably less than $200. Any pitfalls in doing this work?
