Default Front end bushings

Went to grease the front end and found about every kin pin bushing worn out or gone on the front end. I'm sure this normal for older cart? I found Front end rebuild kit for 75 bucks. I was mechanic for 48 years so I know my way around wrench, but really have better things I could be do than that. Anybody had this done? if so Ball park cost on parts, labor, and good honest mechanic? I don't mind paying going rate if I get Good work done.

OK found out where all the play was coming from. Got off cheap and easy fix. It was the front leaf spring rubber bushing that were gone allowing the spindles to have lot of movement. Easy fix and Front leaf spring kit costs 23 bucks. Actual King pin bronze bushings and the king pins weren't worn. cleaned everything up and "On the Road Again" My cart about 12 years old with seasonal use.
