I got 2 of 'em from ebay for $119 shipped. I have a mechanic that will do them for $140 per side.
I saw the part, new, from the parts guy at the dealer and to be quite honest, I don't see, aside from
getting more money from ya, why they don't sell the ball joint separate. It's a pressed ball joint.....
nothing special. Unless the thing is cracked or something, it shouldn't need to be replaced.
Thanks for the luck - the way things have been I'll take it![Big Grin](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I agree about them squeezing the extra money from you. The ***********s over charge quite a bit for parts. I bought my vertical links off ebay as well from a Jag/ British auto distributor. If I remember correctly I paid just under $300 for both sides and another $200 for the install.
This was much better than the dealership offered. It was nearly $800 just for the vertical links without installation! I buy all my parts from the distributor now. I've saved well over thousand dollars in parts buying them straight from the distributor, cutting out the two extra middle men(the dealer and the independent shops).
