I found them both at a local junk yard for $50...anyone have an idea how
much they would cost to put on in the midwest? I'm sure that prices could
vary greatly, but it would be nice to have an idea.

Just a wild guess, figure 2.5 hours labor at the prevailing labor rate, plus
the cost a four wheel alignment.

Thanks Ray, I don't know how much the alignment shop will want for that just
yet, but I have a shop that does labor for a flat rate of $40 an hour if the
alignment shop is too expensive.

Damn! It would almost be worth driving there for $40 an hour!

Yeah, they are really great. I was hesitant to use them at first because of
the price being so low but so far they haven't let me down. As it was, the
alignment shop told me it would run roughly $175 total for my parts and
labor so I went ahead and let them do it. It wasn't really worth it for me
to try to get my car from one shop to the other.
