I went in with a question about pulsation on braking at high speed. So far I've got new front brakes, turned rotors and refurbished (no change in shoes) rear brakes at $500 plus. Toyota Camry 2005 Control Arm Replacement Cost. Told it would be $1,800 FOR right and left HELP!!!!!?
Do by your self, it is not that hard. Just buy new arms, you are safe a allot moneyToyota Camry 2005 Control Arm Replacement Cost. Told it would be $1,800 FOR right and left HELP!!!!!?
Do you still have the pulsation after turning the brakes?Where did you take your car?About the only reason the control arms would be bad or bent would be a collision that would make the alignnment off, but not necessarily cause a pulsation. Now, a bent hub could cause wobble because the rotor is mounted to the hub and rotates with the rotors. What was the reasoning behind needed control arms? If the repair facility turned the brakes and did those repairs-why are they not standing behind their work? In our shop, if we diagnosed the car as needing the brake repairs and there still was an issue--we would be doing the next repair for free. If this is the case-maybe its time to start raising hell!
So why do you need lower control arms? Anyway Toyota will cover control arms if you are at right mileage and they are truly bad. Call your Toyota dealership and ask them if your warranty will cover you. The front brake (if done correctly) will fix pulsating brake pedal.
Wow, what a ripoff. I bought the control arms for my geo on ebay for $50 each. The originals were pretty badly rusted. In addition, I could (very easily) move the ball joints with my fingers, which is a big no-no (the ball joints are integrated into the control arm %26amp; bushings assembly and are not a separate replacement).
One more item they'll dump on you at the last minunte....wheel alignment. They'll also probably say your struts %26amp; springs are in bad shape, as well as your tie rod ends....and and and...but honestly you will need a wheel alignment after replacing the control arms.
Always a classic...';But I thought my rotors turn when I drive the car...';
Shouldn't NEED this repair. Better find a different repair facility.
OUCH!
I would not go back there!
There is no reason to replace your control arms unless they are bent!
Worn ball joints and bushings can be replaced
