So, we've discovered that the soarer has got nolathane bushes in the front lower wishbones, and they're very dry..
Bad thing??

All urethane requires re greasing at regualar service intervals.
Im not even going to get into the debate on rubber vs urethane.
If your daily driving keep rubber go vlamos
If your racing or using your car for hills/drift use urethane hands down

I've had few quotes for replacing front lower,upper bushes and they vary quite a bit.
Can anyone give us a ballpark figure$ that would be reasonable(labour only)?
Cheers

Manta automotive said it would cost about $1100 or $1400 to replace all the bushes, upper and lower..
Can't remember which price he said..
So is this regreasing something i can do myself? or do things need to be taken out etc greased, then put back in..

Try buying a can of Silicon spray, I used that on my rex when it starting squeaking. Probably not a good long term solution but it works

What ever your mech charges, usually $80 nowadays
The uppers about 2 hours labour
The lowers about the same
wheel align 1 hour
Rears
Traction rods 1/2 hour
hub bushes 2-3 hours
upper arms 2 hours
lowers arm 1 hour
toe arm 1 hour max
Thats all of them, not inc swaybar bushes cos they are about 15mins
