getting bushings replaced - NSW workshops ?

Any suggestions as to where to get my old bushings pushed out and new bushings pressed in that won't charge an arm and a leg ?

All parts are off the car already.

Pedders wanted $600 which is insane for an hours use of a press.

Best calling around to shops local to you

Try one of the other suspension places mate, Pedders full of crap for that price...

Every workshop has a press, it's ist a matter of getting someone not so dumb they press shit out the wrong way

Try taking the LCAs out yourself and reinstalling. That will save another $2-300 off the price.


EDIT wait. That price is off the car ? That's like $600 p/h ? Wow nice one.




PS it requires alittle experience to push out the inner opposing bushes.

Have any luck tiksie?

I got quoted $100 per corner if I take off the parts and bring it to them. that's $400 with me taking the parts out.
Pedders as well, but in WA.

stupidly expensive

wtf

I got lucky then, first place i got a price from, 80 bucks. Got the job done and it was 80 bucks.

for 400 i'd rather just buy a press lol

I needed the bushings in the rear pair of N+ coils replaced. Got them replaced with the newer red coloured ones for $185. Local mechanic.
