Hey, guys I just received 2 estimates from an independent shop, 1 on Daizen Control Arm Bushings and the other on replacing the complete control arms. Does this look about right?

Thanks.

 

I wouldnt pay that for it!! Id learn to do it myself. why you want to replace the control arms? whats wrong with them?? id rather buy a 1600 car to ride around in until i did the job myself out in the middle of the street

 

wow!!! i rather buy me a civic hatchback for that price...lol thats too much just for a little amount of work.. imagine if u got the rears done u could buy another 2gs for that price.. keep shoppin around

 

I'd walk away from both quotes. Clearly these shops have never done a 2GS bushing install before, otherwise they wouldn't be looking at the 12hr book time.

I didn't know they charge alignment by the hour either. Even the best guy over here doesn't charge that much.

 

1700!? no way. I'm looking to spend a case of beer and a box of pizza for my Daizen bushings.

 

I cant believe that price, DIY!

 

Hey . . . um looking to get my 98GS4 front bushings replaced. Where and how much are they? What's the installation price??

 

Daizen bushings are $100-125 for the front end kit. Installation price will vary widely because some will charge by the book (~12hr) and some will do it on what they think is fair. Not to mention the labor rate varies a lot depending on your location.

 

Can you tell me where I can get them?

 

Sewell Lexus (www.lexuspartsonline.com) Use the code "Clublexus" to get 12% off.

Are you in Norcal or Socal?

 

Spend $300 dollars on food and fun. Call it "fix my car" party.

 

^ yep..best to do some more research or keeping on shopping around may be you'll get a better price...

 

if you just look at the alignment cost, why does the alignment cost 3.8hrs=$308, even if it uses "lasers", pew pew pew?

 

Yeah what a rip off. I defintely need to call around some more. Thanks for eyeballing that guys.

 

that's way too much... keep shopping around
