84 300SD rear subframe mount replacement estimate ??

Submitted by 2happytexans on 12 May 2009 - 2:14pm.

Anyone ever have their rear subframe mounts and trailing arm bushings replaced or do it yourself? How long did it take? I'm getting a labor quote from an Indy shop tomorrow, not sure why they couldn't give me a range over the phone....

Depends on rust

If someone has done it before with a clean rust free chassis and the proper equipment it should take 4 to 5 hours. If the car has is rusty and bolts prove difficult to remove time could double.

The labor was estimated at $1100 for both the mounts and the bushings, not sure how many hours that comes out to for each. Fortunately, they said they don't need to be done so I'm going to skip it for now and probably tackle the mounts myself in the future when I can set aside a day or two.
