Hey guys I bought my car a few months ago and the guy I bought it off lowered the car himself, he did not change the shocks (they are original shocks). Its sitting on King Spring superlows on the front and King lows on the rear.
I have noticed squeaking noises from the rear and occasionally rubbing off the back left tyre even with no other people in the car.
I took my car down to Pedders to get the 28 point safety check done and address these issues.
Here is what they found and the cost for parts.
- Very soft front shocks ($300)
- Front Sway bar bushes are split ($75)
- Badly worn Radius Bushes ($40)
- Leaking Rear shocks ($182)
- On the rear, lower bush adjusters fitted incorrectly, nuts missing. ($252)
They have quoted $849 for parts and an extra $660 for labour and $110 for a wheel alignment. Does this sound reasonable? Im getting a second quote from my local mechanic on Friday but was after your guys opinions.
As well as lowering the car himself he told me he installed the IRS himself too. What are your guys opinions on this? Sound reasonable? Can any of this be done cheaper?
Thanks
