After calling a couple normal car repair shops I was told they would not press these in because they didnt want to be held liable for a cracked front control arm. However, I know many people have done just this, and even at their own house with a ball joint press and hydraulic press; I'm also positive it will not crack the arm. I don't want to tackle this myself so does anyone have a shop recommendation for pressing these in? By the way I would be bringing the control arms by themselves with the replacement ball joints and rubber bushings.

Also does anyone have an estimate for the price of doing this? I hope its not too much...
