I've gotten quotes from 11 different people, including Pedders 4 different shops, 3 diff specialists, 2 taxi workshops, and 2 random mechanics

All quoting around the $1000 to $1600 if I supply the bushes.

P.S I'm in perth

Cost me less than 400 including the superpro center bush, and 400 when I did the side bushes. Through a ford dealer. Mates rates. Well as good you would get from a dealer anyway.

Good ford mechanics who do them all the time should have it done within a couple of hours

Well goes to show how much ford hate me

I normally charge aprox $500, but im not taking on any work at the moment.

Forgive me if I've confused you with somebody else but did you carry out a trans swap on your car?

I did just do a Tranny swap also did an engine swap last year, I see where you are going with this and mostly its time I'm very short of at the moment,

now today just got a quote and booked in to do them at Midway Ford in midland I supply the parts and they do the work in 4 hours for $780

f*ck me lol,.........I did it myself, but I like working on cars etc, It was annoying to do but with the right tools and a big hammer you can do it right, removing the cradle with a jack etc by yourself is easy and interesting at the same time....... hardest part was getting the old diff bushs (3) out but that's where a drill, hammer and chisle come in handy, the other bush's were done with a 6 tonn press and the big rose joints were a f*cking *beep* but I got there, they (the big rose joints) would be better to do while everything is still on car...useing a home made tool..

anyone want there rear end redone im willing to do it all for aroud $500 provideing you supplie parts haha im in qld maryborough

[ratter]

if getting quotes, ask how they install the bushes and even ask to have a look at their fitment tools, many people are using hammers etc to knock the bushes in, this can actually distort the bush housing but we have seen 2 cradles that needed to be replaced due to being damaged, the $100 or what ever you save is not going to make up for the cost of a new cradle and bushes and heartache associated with trying to get someone to accept responsibility

Hammers

As per ratters comments, if your hitting bits with hammers your doing it wrong.
