Put my xrt in for bilsteins today. The guy calls me to tell me the bushes are rooted, and need replacing, he can't do it today but tells me I'm up for a couple of grand. Is this true am I really up for a couple of grand to fix this problem??

THE MAN said rear would be a about $1500+de bushes and front roughly

$960. He can't do it until next week so I have a few days to decide what I want to do. What do you guys reckon?

Depends on how long you want to keep the car and what you want to do with it.

I think that's the rough price to replace all bushes as it's fairly labour intensive.

They'd want to be something decent like Super Pro for the price though.

I plan on keeping this car for a long time and plan to do some power work in the near future(not to drastic). Talk about bad luck... That'll teach me to get work done on fri 13 th.

When I replaced all the bushes in my BA sedan parts alone where up around $1100. Consider talking to P@ @ WHS, Im 99% sure they had rebushed exchange front control arms, which are a very good deal as it saves quite a bit of labour.

The rear end has 3 diff bushes, 6 rose joints and 6 bushes that need to be replaced. All of this plus removing the rear end add's up to quite a bit of labour.

While the front end is apart def replace the ball joints and tie rod ends at the same time

The upside is your car will feel better than new when they are replaced. My advice would be to only use the stock rubber bushes for the front lower shock mounting as the SP items are a touch to stiff IMHO and transmit a touch to much harshness through the wheel.

It's at WHS now for the shocks and springs, so I'm sure it'll b looked after. Just a little surprised as my auto knowledge is very minimal.
