This sunday i took my car for some very minor work.when i asked the mechanic to check the brake leather he gave the bad news that rear suspension bush are all broken. i was hearing the squeaks for the last week or 2 and could hear bearing noise as well. i decide to get the work done which took my whole day

parts coming off

RBI thai bushes. expensive but will long laster

back at the workshop for fitting. i had to buy 2 hubs because the bearings were making sound. was extremely hard to find hubs/bearings in good price

hash4u (hash4u) 2008-12-01 10:00:00 +0500 #6

it was dark by the time final fitting was being done

finally the car was taken for alignment which also took some time

hash4u (hash4u) 2008-12-01 10:05:00 +0500 #7

Here is the price list

rubber bush thailand)16 pieces) 3800
Fitting from press maching 700
rear hubs/bearing(pair) 3000
Cab expense to grab the stuff 250
Alignment all 4 wheels 500
Labour 1000

Total 9250

and i thought only loading cards in cell phone and tomatoes are expensive these days

mate you can't put a price on safety and comfort. unlike most people in this country who go on and on about originality, your car really is well maintained.

gooda gooda...

well the bushes in yours lasted quiet a lot, in the second latest model they wear out very quickly (this is what i have heard)..

i did the same suspension overall with myne, but only front bushes needed replacement...

Yaar dexter, saeed did not do a good job
i checked my file. rear suspension lasted exact 1 year

Ghuncha (Ghuncha) 2008-12-05 12:05:00 +0500 #12

yar if these also last an year, than get some Polyurethane Bushings form abroad

drive is smooth and very quiet. rear suspension had squeaking sounds and the bearing sound on high speeds was getting annoying
