Hi all,

I just got back from Tyreworks at Dandenong South and they mentioned that my Upper and lower arm bushes are dead.

Below is the quote with Labour:

Replace lower and upper arm bushes - 660
replace Link Pins - 155
replace D-rubber (think its a sway bar bush) - 125
4 Wheels alignment - 88

Do you think its a a reasonable price or are there any cheaper options? Im not a mech so i won't know how to replace them myself.

Thanks guys!

What model soarer do you have? You could buy new oem units from the USA for less.

Hey jan, I'm going to get mine from Peter and possible have it installed by his recommended mech in ferntree gully.

Hope they don't charge me and arm and leg for the fitting

Highly unlikely you would get complete units cheaper from the US now with the dollar having fallen so much. I've had my 31 done by Peter Taplin, with his Branz rubber bushes - you can't go wrong with Peter, and the ride quality afterwards is brilliant.

The only benefit from the US units is that they come with new ball joints, I fully back Peter's expertise and ability, but I don't think he can replace the ball joints?

Take it to Gerardo also in FTG at Pro Tune, he did my Aristo's suspension. Worth a trip if you are near that area anyway.
