Just got this list from a roadworthy test and was wondering how much this will set me back including labour?

*Replace strut tops
*Replace engine mounts
*Front link pin bushes
*Right radius rod bush
*Lower front trailing arm bushes
*Upper trailing arm bushes

Thanks :)

I would say $1500 minimum. Depends on where you go. You won't get a straight price here. Your best bet is to go out and get some quotes.

How shagged are the engine mounts?
- perhaps take it elsewhere to get a roady? Some mechanics mistake to join in the rubber on commodore engine mounts as a 'crack' they may not be buggered at all. Mine were brand-new (replaced them myself) and took it to get a roady a week later and the tool said they were cactus.
Took it elsewhere, on the road the next day.
To replace them is a prick of a job and will cost you a few bucks.

Were you quoted a price when you had the road worthy test done?
