lower arm bushing

Post by Fine Tuning » Fri Jan 11, 2013 10:43 pm

JUST changed suspension and rear camber kit... Car can't go straight.
Thought its alignment problem.. when back to w/s realised lower arm bushing worn out...
Front and back.
Haiz.. any idea how much will it cost me? W/s yet to quote me.
Anyway will a worn out bushing affect the alignment?
The mech say if the bushing not replaced, no point do the alignment.

Haha.. kiasu ma...

40 x 6 =240+200=440

But the Ws quoted me 700+ :shock:
But they did say the back bushing no OEM stock and its of another brand.
The brand so "branded"?

mcds, thanks for the update. Appreciate if you can also intro a Ws that can change at the 400+ range.

Just replaced 2 of my front lower arm bushings at the w/s recommended by MCDS, and I must say that their service is excellent and their rates are reasonable.

my "pricing" is guesstimate. I could be wrong.

Get the workshop to break down the charges and see for yourself where is the expensive items lor

pm me if you so want to know a trustworthy workshop ... but don' t go there and say mcds say this price... I am NOT the boss there... my price is ONLY a ROUGH GUESS.
