When I called my local mechanic he quoted me £150 to replace both rear bushes. I have the new polyurethane parts just need the work doing. Is this a fair price to you guys? Is it really that much of a horrible job?
Thanks

Rear beam bushes or front wishbone bushes? If it's the rear its a good price if it's the fronts its expensive.

Rear, thanks Steve :smiley:

They are quite a b!tch to be honest. :sad: anything between 1-3 hours labour depending on how hard they are to get out. Is that what he said he would do it for privately?

yes it is a b!tch, when i did mine in the end we had to drop the rear beam out stick it in vice, saw out the old bushes and hammer f*ck out of the new ones untill they were in properly
