You can do it yourself for about $35 a side. You just have to remove the wheel and bolt the new one on.

Try to get the Moog ones. I've been running them without issue, and they are alot beefier! They have grease fittings built in them.

Go to Parts Source and pick up a set from MOOG, someone else on here done it as well. I'm in the process of doing it myself. Really easy do it yourselfer. Provided you have a jack.
