cost price on the bushes (in Nolathane) wouldn't be more than $250ish - I wouldn't have thought. Monroe and that do replacement bump stops, I doubt there too much either. Might be wrong, but Falcon bushes usually arn't exy. Best way to find out is to0 ring Repco, Auto1, Bursons, Sparco, or who ever you guys have there and find out! Better still go into the shop as you'll get to talk to them a bit more.
You might want to figure out weather you want to replace with Urethane or Rubber bushes. Personally I like urethane, long lasting, keeps the suspension tighter, but rubber has a hgue fan base due to being softer... I don't see why you can't replace the bushes yourself. |

That's a pricey price. A lot of it would be labour.

yeah it's a bit rich on the price.
do it yourself if you have the knowledge, then get a wheel-alignment when you finish.

Doing the rubbers is pricey on labour.
Go polyurethane for shizzle. You should be able to get a cheaper price then that, and do all the rubbers as well.

For one, the bushes aren't cheap. Secondly, it takes longer than 5 minutes to do all the pushes you mentioned.. Some of them need to be pressed in, and that's bloody difficult to do by hammer. Thus, I think the price is ok. But of course, ring around beforehand.

Hey, i had my suspension done by ford. They installed new front, back shocks and springs with new brushes and that cost $1100. It sounds about right. I had pedders shocks and lowered springs put in.
