Real Posted 20/08/09 08:42 AM Share Posted 20/08/09 08:42 AM hey all...ok I dunno if this is sumthing dodgy by some place (won't mention names) but umm took it in to get rid of some camber that my car sits on cause its killing my tyres like u can't believe... anyways chucked it in there and they had a look under neath for me and stuff and here is everything they listed wrong...1. Urethane control Arm Bush $1982. Control Arm Pivot Joint X4 $2563. installation $5204. Dift Bush X3 $2025. Wheel alignment 4 wheels. $110Total $1,286Now I dunno much about this stuff but does this sound about right? like am I getting ripped off or sucked into sumthing? I mean they spoke about when I'm in 2nd and back off it makes a clunk noise (which it does), but I mean all I wanted was for the camber to be adjusted and here I sit with all this stuff in front of me?hmmm just suss that's all so any info will be appreciated Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60837-need-some-advice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 20/08/09 11:30 AM Share Posted 20/08/09 11:30 AM take it to pedders and have them do a check on the car. Will cost about $28 but its good to get a second opinion. Either that or find some place you trust or has a good rep.

thorxr6t Member 91 Member For: 21y 6d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 21/08/09 12:33 AM Share Posted 21/08/09 12:33 AM Those items look really costly. I think my local bob jane tmart charges about $65 for the 4 wheel alightment, balance and rotation for my prev bmw e90! And my ford dealer charges about the same price as well. Get another quote from other suspension specialists. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60837-need-some-advice/#findComment-923087 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times they have told people stuff needs doing and then when they get a second opinion they are told not to worry.
