Looking for a Little Advice on Some Shop Repair Quotes

I took my truck in to the dealer to have some electrical issues fixed (Some I was posting on here about)… I finally gave up on trying troubleshooting myself and I asked them to give my truck an inspection while its in.

They came back with a laundry list of items. Some that I’m questioning because their cost is pretty expensive

Looking for a little advice. Mainly wondering if the price I’m being quoted sounds normal. I’m going to be taking the truck to Texas in a little over a week so I don’t have a lot of time to get other quotes. I might have time to knock out a few repairs myself but some of the really time consuming stuff I’ll leave to the shop.

1) How difficult is it to replace torque arms? The shop wants $1762 to replace 4 torque arms. I found parts online for $400 less than they quoted. They want $711 in labor.

2) Is it true that a shop won’t repair Steering U joints or a steering shaft? Honestly my steering isn't terrible compared to other trucks I've drove but the joints are worn. They are recommending that I replace my entire steering shaft which is $1020

3) They recommend replacing the kingpins… Might let them do that… Looks like a pain. They want $1366 ($853 labor and $513.66 in parts)

4) Other misc stuff is like $250 for one side of my flat glass replacement, $90 to fix a leaking air line, and $237 to troubleshoot my ABS light

 

Thanks Tnevin225! I live in Colorado Springs CO. About an hour from Denver. A good shop is hard to come by sometimes. Thats why I usually do my own work. Most shops tend to make every minor issue seem like you must repair it ASAP.

This total bill is like $8,000 for troubleshooting electrical, misc little stuff, and the big items mentioned above.

 

Yes I believe they are the suspension torque arms. Their quote doesn't mention alignment. I will have to ask

 

I didn't want to share the shop name. Just didn't want to post bad information about them because they have been good to me. Despite shop costs being really expensive. Their parts counter is awesome too.

I went down and looked at the torque arms... they are on the rear. Actually looks easy. I have an impact gun and large compressor.. don't know if I'm missing something. Not sure how this is a $1700 repair
