Ford F-150 — Control Arm Replacement Cost

What owners actually paid

Cost by model year

Newer model years cost more: the newest group runs about 75% above the oldest. If your quote is for a car in one of these groups, compare it with that row. Middle half of real Ford F-150 invoices for each group, parts + labor:

What this repair is

Control arms locate the wheels against the body through rubber bushings and a ball joint. Worn bushings clunk over bumps and let the car wander; a failing ball joint is a safety issue. Replacement ends with an alignment.

Is your quote fair?

If your quote lands between $368 and $873, it's inside the range where half of all real Ford F-150 repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 3 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
