$700 in repairs!

Finally took the SHO into the shop today to diagnose my front end vibration. Left tie rod, left ball joint, right axle and a cradle mount. WTH is a cradle mount? I just had them do the right axle for now since thats most likely the source of my vibration. I hope I can do the rest myself. Anyone know parts cost for the rest? Ball joint about $20 correct.

no, it's about 3 times as much. The balljoint is integral to the front control arm. You have to buy the front control arm assembly to get a new ball joint. Get the Moog version. It has a greaseable balljoint.
