Castor Bushes

[hanyou]

hi jus searched through the forum about the costs of replacing and installing castor bushes but i couldnt find anything...

i was going to get a wheel allignement at JAX in Blacktown but found i shouldnt till i replaced my castor bushes as they were cracking.. they said for $320 installed they would fit nolathane fully adjustable castor bushes. is that about right?!. cuz i saw on groupbuys for suspension parts castor bushes are only about ~$100? am i getting rorted? or does install really cost that much lol...

thanks

thats pretty expensive... they dont take long to install, bout 30mins in a workshop. they will supply the bushes and then charge you full rrp instead of the price they got them for, but they will include a wheel alignment with this.

your probly better off buyin the bushes in the group buy, takin them the bushes and tellin em to put em in and wheel align the car

should only be ~$40 for the labour and ~$60 for the wheel alginment

ahhh ok.. yeah that $320 didnt include a wheel allignment (they were charging $66) lol.. so will do what you said then. thanks mate

I got quoted 330 with alignment for installation of bushes.. Most of the cost is labour..

Anyways i have decided to go with adjustable castor rods instead. being 150 for rods plus around 120 for installation with alignment..

Hope that helps.
