Bushing kit install ?

[AK Type R]

How much have yous paid for a bushing kit install i have hardrace budhing kit for itr wondering how much it should be ?

[trism]

one million dollars.

Go ring some workshops and ask them.

[AK Type R]

nice reply !! i already did none of them can give an exact amount hence why i asked the question.. if you dont have an answer to the question i think its best you dont reply.

what bushes? that might be a good start. If its every bush in the car, thats gonna be a fair bit different to just the control arm bushes.

The going rate for mechanics is 80 an hour. Its gonna depend on what you want done, and if you just drop the car off and say do it, or take all the control arms in and just get them to remove the old ones, and press the new ones in.

It could range from 100 all the way up to 500.

You will find that alot of workshops will not quote you a price if you just say "how much to replace bushes on this car" without specifying what bushes and if you are supplying parts or not. I certainly don't give a price unless I get full details, as these sort of customers usually shop around and want cheap cheap

i wanted to do the same thing and replace all bushings but worried about labour costs .

hmnn but apparently its hella worth it though ..

Changing bushing is very time consuming!

Expect to pay 400- 600 for labour

Well i bought the kit so no turning back ahah and i guess ill just do it diy and use a mates press.. Give me a chance to look over the underbody for loose bolts lol !

[lil_foy]

With a bit of know how you can diy it easy! You'll need a press though, I just used a cheap supercheap one.

[AK Type R]

DIY FTW lol

[grifty]

you might struggle abit with the supercheap press since its only 6 tonnes.

you might struggle abit with the supercheap press since its only 6 tonnes.

I had zero problems?
Use a socket to punch the rubber out, hacksaw the casing out (careful to only cut the casing) then press the new one in.

There would be plenty of diy's on the next im sure.

[mocchi]

diy would cost 400-600
(hardr itr bush kit $400, press $100-$200)

if someone come up to me and ask for whole car in eg/ek/dc2
i would charge like $400 labour only.

time consuming!
