Jimbob_S3 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hello All, Just had a quote to have the two front ARB drop links replaced and the front drivers side bush and clip replaced on the ARB. Local specialist quoted £150, does this sound reasonable ? The specialist showed me all of the joints under the car and they were indeed worn and plenty of play existed which accounts for all the rattling / knocking. Sound reasonable ?

fingermouse Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 well the arb bushes are about 4 quid each, the brackets are 8 quid ish, id do both sides not just 1. thnik some one did the drop links for 30 quid but i may be wrong so 50 quids worth of gear and about 1 hrs labour. Its not a hard job to do yourself TBH. the drop links are easy 17mm spanner on the inside and a socket on the nut 10mins a side including taking the wheel off. (think thats the spanner size anyhow ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob_S3 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Cheers for the advice. To be honest im not that interested in getting my hands dirty anymore, so i 'll probably pay the cost...! to do the ARB bush on the other side would be about an extra £45, but that one looked alright....

Srcoates Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Just had that kind of work done on my car... It can be a bit of a saga (compressing new bushes etc.) but it is fairly straight forward... £150 sounds fine mate... Supprisingly reasonable!
