How much to replace control arm bushings?
Thursday, July 09, 2009 9:13 PM
The shop I always go to said about 80 to 90 per side plus alignment. So really like $225 to $250. I bought the bushing kit from Karo so I will be providing the parts obviously.
Before anyone mentions it, no I cannot do it myself and won't even try because I enjoy living and not taking others out with me.
thanks for any input.

lol, but thats about right, for shops current rates.

that is only about an hour of labor a side.

It ended up only costing me $190 total and the fine people of Michigan are grateful and safe because of that!

I think for the labor that's fairly cheap. While the control arms were off you should have had the lower ball joints replaced if they were still factory (much easier to grind/drill the stock rivets with the control arm removed.

Those were replaced just b4 Christmas. Thats when they first said my bushings looked rough but wouldn't need immediate replacement as really I don't don't drive very far. My cars an 02 cav with just shy of 94000 miles. The longest trip its made was a couple years ago I did a run to Vermont from Michigan and back. NO! Not to get "married" either!
