400-700 depending on their hourly rate...
It is a 4-7 hour job to drop the subframe and replace all of the rear bushings. Might as well have them do the differential bushings, and possibly rear wheel bearings while they have everything taken apart. |  | | | 09-15-2008, 04:01 AM | #17 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |
Oh wow! I certainly don't have that type of money right now. And plus, I gotta save up cause I'm gonna start having probation. From what I hear, it's $100-$300 a month. And I only make $400 a month at my job.
Dang, I was so excited about this buy too. T_T __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

my guess is 300 for labor | | | | | 09-15-2008, 04:24 PM | #19 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 |
It could be as low as 300. 5 hours is pretty close to what the book rate for this is. So if you can find a shop that will do it for 50$ an hour. In Orlando, the cheapest rates at good shops is 65-75, some shops in this area charge as much at 115/hour. Which is where I got the really high estimate. If you can get labor at 50/hour or cheaper, it will be 300 or less. | | | | | 09-15-2008, 05:04 PM | #20 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Nevada Posts: 259 |
Yep ya' gotta' find the right mechanic. One who likes to 'barter' helps  OR do it yourself with some DIY homemade press (which are real easy to make) | | | | | 09-16-2008, 07:25 AM | #21 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Nevada Posts: 259 |

Im interested. What brand are the bushings? Also, they'd easily fit in a usps priority prepaid box for 10 bucks. They will even ship to Hawaii for the same flat price.  | | | | | 10-10-2008, 07:04 AM | #29 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Nevada Posts: 259 |

I'll be up 'till 1 pst..... | | | | | 10-10-2008, 06:16 PM | #30 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Nevada Posts: 259 |
