    Book Time to Replace Ball Joints??

    Since labor costs per hour vary, I am looking for book time or a typical time for the labor to replace the ball joints on a 1973 911.

    I am getting a bit old to DIY anymore, and my safety retainer cotter pin mount on the bottom is all ground away from being forced off the road by a semi-truck...

    Thanks.

    No such thing as "book time" on a 46 year old car.
    We would charge 1 hour per side + a surcharge if Mother Nature has been involved.

    The reality is as Mr. Beck describes above. But the official Porsche "book time" which you asked for was, as of 8/73 (your year), 50 minutes for one side and 70 minutes for both sides (does not include alignment).
