PSB Control arm bushing replacement
My mini needs to replace control arm bushings so currently i've purchased PSB Bushings from ebay. today I went to the mini specialist and they quoted me $300 for labor because they have to lower the subframe. is that true?
I told them i don't think you have to lower the subframe but they said it's not an accurate job. |
Having done the job myself, the only way to remove the rear control arm bushing mount bolts is to remove the subframe. Maybe their is a special tool that will let you press them out in place, but I don’t have that so out it came. It’s really not that difficult or heavy.

modmini has a video on this. He used a sawzall to cut them out and didnt lower the frame. If you're touching the subframe, I'd also figure on adding an alignment cost.

$300 is actually cheap for install on them as it does take some work.
I hope you got the powerflex bushings as their quality is the highest out of all the poly bushings and have a lifetime warranty so you don't have to do the job a second time. Also we always replace the front sway bar bushings https://www.waymotorworks.com/oem-fr...0-r52-r53.html Inner ball joints are easy to do at the same time too https://www.waymotorworks.com/inner-...0-r52-r53.html And a great time to do the steering rack bushing too https://www.waymotorworks.com/powerf...k-bushing.html |
