2002 envoy ball joints

the wife took her truck in for an alignment at the dealer and they say she needs new lower ball joints and sway bar links. $800 plus the alignment. she told them i would change the parts and the guy told her that he went to school for suspension and he cant even change the ball joints.
i took a look under and it LOOKS pretty straight forward to me. i did all 4 balls on her 4wd 97 blazer. i think the guy at the dealership is full of ^%#@.
anyone change the ball joints on a newer envoy ? looks like a 4 hour job to me.

Re: 2002 envoy ball joints
