At least it is here at Harrison Motorsports Rgrds, David Jean-Claude 01-06-2006, 04:31 PM That should be a $450 job parts and labor with poly bushings. At least it is here at Harrison Motorsports Rgrds, David That's still alot for the work and parts needed. If you do a search, someone made a DIY step-by-step. You can make the tool for doing the job for about $6 in parts from Home Depot. KDAWG97M3 01-06-2006, 05:23 PM That should be a $450 job parts and labor with poly bushings.

However on a seperate note, I will be changing my RTABs shortly (possibly even next week) with the poly bushings (yearly job for me). You are more than welcome to drop by and see whats being done to get a better idea. Takes me about 3 hours to do the entire thing. If you can change your own suspension, this is not hard at all. I use the appropriate tools instead of any sawz all (have used it in the past though) so it the job is quite simple and stress free. A.L.
