I'm looking to replace my rear bushes. Not sure of the complicated nature of doing this, was wandering if anyone has done, and whether there is a tutorial or guide.

Not that mechanically minded, although I have replaced my front air bag suspension and steering bush.

I'm very interested in having this done on my soarer.. Did you manage to find out? I was going to take it to AutoBahn but worried with how much they will charge?

Haven't heard from anyone on the forum yet, but having a chat to my locals, who I trust and are very reasonable with prices. They said the job can be problematic, especially given the age and strong possibility of bushes seizing. I found some notes on the bushes here :
http://soarer.ace.net.au/. This might help a little, still feel like a mechanic is the way to go, especially with the equipment needed.

Replacing bushes generally requires a decent press, which usually put's it out of the home mechanic's range.
