LCA Replacement- HELP

I need to have new LCA's put on due to bad balljoints and VERY rusted arms. I just called a local shop and they quoted me 2.9hrs per side. Is there anyone on here that can confirm that for me? It sounds a bit high, but I'm not sure.

I cannot do this job myself due to this being my only car and the corrosion/probability of breaking bolts being so high.

Thanks in advance.

I think I had a similar quote for that. Pmohr will have the details. I think he has the software that the shops use.

I just did mines like last week and it took me about 45 mins on each side.

Indeed.

AllData shows 2.3 per side, or 3.4 for both.

Thanks for the replies. I called up the local Nissan dealership and they quoted me three hours total for both sides.
