radius rod to chassis bush

[matrix]

yesterday i got the adjustable Nolathane radius rod to chassis bush's put on the replace the "old n busted" crappy factory ones.
i wasnt sure how much difference it would make before i got it back, but i can say now that its well worth it.
the cars feels heeps more stable in the front, breaking is more direct and it feels the way a lowered car should feel.
i also replaced the old Oxygen sensors and will be keeping an eye on the fuel consumption over the next month to see if they realy do make a difference too.

my bushes need replacing in the front somewhere.. under heavy turning i can hear a ding.. anywayz my question is how much did they slug u for the job including parts and labour?

i think the ones i got replaced retail for about $190. and take less than an hour to put in you also need to get a wheel alignment done at the same time.
so i guess it depends where you go.
i work for repco so i got staff price on the parts and mates rates on the labour so id rather not piss people off by saying how much it cost me.

i think most tyre places will give you a free quote on what needs fixing. in most cases (almost all) these factory bushes have failed and were a bad design from the begining.

bushes are like $1.90 not $190

sorry mate but the radius rod to chassis bush part number:48166 is about $190.00 from nolathane
the radius rod to control arm part number:48019 is about $40
and the sway bar link set with the replacment link rod: 42997A, is about $40 also.

but good luck with that...
