Default replacing bushings

Hey does anyone know how much it would costs to replace ALL my cars bushing??

I want stock bushings, but I figured the bushing itself would cost about 120 bucks, but the real cost is labor. I think some of the bushings you need a press to get out.
geezus.

Anyhow anyone know about the costs to take it to someone????
I was estimated 300 bucks...plus alignment yea?

what you guy think???

There is alot of labor involved in installing bushings. That price sounds pretty good, down here one of my friends got quoted $400.00 for just labor for installing bushings. I replaced all my bushings on my car when I got the hyperflex kit myself. It was a pain and I would not want to do that again.

geez sounds like horrible work.... did you need a press and all that stuff to remove the old crappy bushings???? I'm sure it ran like new with the new bushings installed. Since I am replacing a lot of stuff is there other potential parts I should replace? I have already changed shocks, and inner tie rod. It's on stock suspension.

I've done several cars bushings... We used a torch and a air chisel instead of a press to remove the old bushings. From what I've experienced it doesnt make that much of a difference except in cars that had worn out metal on metal bushings... One of my friends had a car that came from up north and had several seived bolts... This is not a job i would recommend to people who dont know much about cars. Pretty much you take every suspension piece apart. Also their is alot of time involved.
