Replacing ball joints and tie rods on vehicles requires some specialized tools and sometimes they're very hard to remove even with the proper tools.

You can expect to pay at least $200.00 to replace one ball joint and tie rod and to replace all 4 ball joints and Tie rods it can cost as much as $1,000.00 to $1,200.00

Some vehicles may only have two ball joints while some have 4 ball joints.

The vehicle also needs to have the wheels aligned after replacing tie rods and some places will include that service in the tie rod and ball joint replacement but other times they may tell you to take it to another shop that is equipped to do alignment jobs.
