What is the approximate labor time to replace a lower control arm on a 93 bmw 325is. I am hearing many different times. And many different prices to do it, some from mobile mechanics as low as 75 dollars to 300 hundred dollars. I already have the new control arm with the ball joint and bushings already pressed in. The lower estimates sound kinda fishy. Thanks. Bob

Its about an hour and a half to do the job
so the 70 $ is too low and the 300 very high
some where in the hundred some I would say about right

I agree, the time from BMW says 12 flat rate units and that is about 1.2 to 1.5 hours.
