Question Cost Estimate on Installation of FIGS bushing

After watching this video:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...eo-inside.html

I am hoping to get this bushing sets from FIGS so i can elimiated eliminate the inner tires wear....

However

can anyone tell me what is the reasonable labor for a mechanic do install this? According to FIGS, this is a pretty straight forward bolt on. Thanks!

One hour from start to finish for any competent and well equipped shop.

If they dont have the correct diameter socket to push out the old bushings then it will take them quite some time.

Half hour in my garage if I work slow and drink beer. The longest part of the job is jacking the car up.

Since no press is needed, it should be a fairly easy install....

Pretty easy install only if you have a long breaker bar to wedge between the bushing bracket and the LCA.. if you don't.. then good luck lol.

If anyone in Socal needs help LMK. I can provide assistance.

1/2 drive air with 600 ft lbs reverse torque. Solves lots of problems quickly. I'll just drop the LCA. No need to stress the front bushing by prying on it. It takes enough rotational abuse as it is.
