Hi Josh, yes I’m afraid so those figures sound about right to me. I’ve had some of those jobs done before. Would be interested on what make of bushes they’re intending to fit and also the alignment (is it Hunter or not)?. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue. |

Bit steep, personally, but does depend on area of the country |

LR have a special tool to do the front ARB bushes as I understand there's not much room (not entirely surprising) to get a spanner on them.

Crikey, that's an awful lot of money for what amounts to a socket, a length of flat bar bent into a C and a square drive! 2014 BMW 530d Touring, 2006 BMW 650i, 2018 Mini Cooper S |

There are actually two very similar specials tools required for the front roll bars not just the one, although I do not know if you can get away with just the one. When I did my front lower arms I was going to do the ARB bushes at the same time, I bought a pair of the tools and my intention was to replace the bushes and sell the tools on to recoup some of the money, as these bushes are a quite common issue I'm sure there would be no problem moving them on if anyone wished to do it that way. They do appear to have gone up in price a bit since I bought them though. Mine are still laid in the garage along with the bushes collecting dust as bushes didn't need doing.

Has your garage got these? If not, that may be why they are anticipating difficulty removing them. Or it could be that they are expecting them to be rusted solid of course. |

Did wonder if they meant the front lower arm bolts as they are a bit prone to rusting solid as well and need cutting off.
