Well, Honda told me I need new compliance bushings--not urgently, but preventatively...for about $400. Does that sound right? Until I can afford that, I'm getting new tires.

 

Sounds about right to me. its about 1.5 hours a side in labor if the bolts come out. say the shop is $100-$125 an hour in labor + parts. sounds about right to me

 

100-125 a hour? holy sh*t thats expensive, the dealer here only charges $75 a hour, while most other garages around here charge around 40-50 a hour.

anyway i had both of mine replaced last year, i think it was $45 for the bushing, it cost me as little over $300 to have both replaced at the dealer.

 

Lol my dealer is $130 n hour. (honda)

 

That sounds OK. They'll probably just replace the entire control arm, which costs a good $125 or more each.... plus an alignment. I'd say $400 is a good price, if not a really good price.
