Got a Quote for Changing LCA Bushings
I called a local high performance shop and asked for a quote on changing both bushings on a pair of LCA's.
Told the guy I had new LCA's and new bushings so it is a given the car won't needto be touched just the pieces I bought.
He told me around $212 since it'll be around 2 hours of work, now does it really take 2 hours to change 4 bushings on arms that are not on a car?
Either he misunderstood and thought the arms had to be removed or i'm really clueless when it comes to changing bushings.

I know the old ones have to be pressed out and the new ones pressed in with a shop press, the only reason im looking for a shop to do it.
I didn't realize it could actually take 2 hours, that means 15 minutes to press out and 15 minutes to press in? Repeated 4 times makes it 2 hours, is it really that tedious?

So my judgment isn't that bad then, what made it even worse is I asked a buddy who works at Ford what I asked here and he didn't disagree with the quote nor time estimated.
San Antonio, there's a local shop here called R&N Garage that specializes in the Z series i'm going to give them a call tomorrow and be very specific see what they tell me.

Just want the new whiteline bushings on the lca's before I put them on.
I'd rather have someone else just change the bushings I'll put on the LCA's.
