i had no idea how much front end parts cost but i think 75$+tax is way to much for a ball joint, just one. a ball joint for one of my coworkers buick regal was just 38$+tax. the price the manufacturers charges is obsene and we atv riders should do something about it. i'm not sure what we could do to try to lower prices but as a 15 year old on a strict buget i can't afford this kind of crap. i mean 76$+tax for 1 tie rod end, that kind of price is so out of proportion it almost makes me sick. because of these prices my 1987 warrior hasn't worked for almost 1 year now after crapping out on the first ride and with 3000$ into it i really am sick of atvs even though i enjoy them so much its even worse than those little gas powered rc cars. come on we need to do something it is way out of hand. thanks for listening

That is b/c you have to buy a whole new a arm. The ball join is combined w/ the a arm, ya it sucks

I may have said it before, but my father once told me "Those who complain about the price of the bait need not go fishing." I feel you pain cause this sport does get expensive.

1987 warrior was unique from other warriors as in it had removable ball joints instead of non-removable ones. i know and it still is 76$ for a ball joint
