Trying to fix my X does this quote sound right?
When I took my car for a PPI the shop had told me I needed to change both thrust arm bushings and ball joints and something about my rear arms. Basically my only symptoms was when the car is on the lift all 4 wheels have play. (left to right) i put 1000 miles on the car since and haven't noticed any problems. when I drive I have no vibrations in the steering or pulling even when braking but I do have an annoying creaking noise coming from the rear suspension so to fix the front thrust arm bushings with both ball joints and the bushings in the rear plus my idler pulley and the belt they quoted me close to $2500 I didn't have the money at the time but now I do so does this price seam reasonable or should I go elsewhere Last edited by pap smear; 04-20-2013 at 03:22 PM. |

doesn't sound right to me.
just the rear bushings and ball joint plus idler pulley and belt? No more than a grand i'd say.

before changing the bushing in the rear, check out the polyurethane ones - you might like it, you might not, but worth checking out...

you are in nyc - $2500 sounds a bit too much... for reference, check with a dealer, it will give you the top figure... then check around... does 2500 include parts? what brand parts? what if you have your own parts?

i assume it was with parts and everything nothin more was talked about what brand or anything. as soon as they gave me the quote i was like uhh i think i left the stove on and ran out
they do charge a lot for labor and they charge tax also 8.75% i believe |

the scary part is they charge $130 an hour and claim their rate is 45% cheaper than the dealer
