I guess when you are over 90k these things are expected. Has anyone had a shop replace their lower control arm bushing/joint? How much did it cost you?

I cost some wiggle going in in my passenger side front wheel and the brake moves along with it so I ca only imagine its a bushing or some loose suspensions.

 

We got a quote from an independent shop for $200 and the dealer matched it. This was just for labor since we were providing the replacement bushing (Powerflex).

 

So they can reuse the joint and just put a new pushing in?

 

So they can reuse the joint and just put a new pushing in? It seemed like the entire lie Ed needs to be replaced.

 

Book time, according to KSD, is 2.8 (warranty) usually multiplied by 1.5 or 1.6 flat rate hours. multiply that by the shop rate- $100-$140/hr. You can buy the whole housing with a new crappy bushing, you can buy a new crappy bushing without the housing, or you can buy polyurethane bushings that totally kick ***.

 

I was gonna go with what way Motorworks has m, new joints with powerflex set. You can get them pressed or unpressed but it's $100 difference we're talking. Wonder if getting them unpressed will save me money if I just have a shop do the install.

 

Anyone with polyurethane bushings notice squeaking after some long term use?
