Parts are $200 per control arm I think. All the shops around me charge $90-100 per hour labor. Hopefully I can find the parts cheaper.

They test drove my car for a mile and said they think the clunking over bumps could be a strut or sway bar going bad. They were not sure.
Sounds like what I went through last summer. The squeaking was the lower control arms that took forever to chase and the clunk is likely the upper strut bearings. Good luck.
