Front Bushings Install in Tampa

Hey Guys,

Car is in the shop getting some work done and I'm being told my front bushings are toast. I was quoted $589 for them to do it (with an alignment) and that's just crazy. Has anybody in the local area had to replace them? If so how much did it cost and where did you get it done?

Thanks in advance

Well if its just the front compression rod.bushings being replaced thats around 100 for bushing, 100 for alignment and rest is labor. I say get whiteline compression rod bushings that way you know whats being installed.

I've seen estimates for $170 for bushing install plus $50-60 for the bushings + alignment which is much more fair

Was hoping someone had experienced this locally and knew a shop that did a good job at a fair price

Well if you throw in a 100 dollar alignment that comes out to be 330 from your prices, which is about right. Now we are talking.
