Anyone replaced their suspension bushings with stock one from the dealer? How much did it cost? Parts, and labor if applicable.

 

Depends on what bushing you are talking about. If you mean all the rubber bushings and the pillowballs and shock mounts, then the parts cost alone is over $1.5k. Figure another $800 or so for labour.

Unless you have a lot of miles on the car, it will probably only be necessary to do the (six) pillowballs - figure $350 parts and probably another $300 or so labour for these.

 

Sounds like a Jimlab set may be the economical way to go.

 

Jimlab's bushings cover all the rubber cylindrical bushings - bit not the shock mounts ($200) or the pillowballs ($350) so the savings will not be significant.

 

Unfortunatly there is really no economical way to replace 30+ bushings. The most economical would be to replace what is broken/worn. The main concern bushings that would wear out/break and should be checked are the (order of importance) 6 pillow ball, diff (oil filled can burst), front lower control arms rear bushing (oil filled can burst), toe control bushings (inner/outer both pillow ball), and rear lower rubber/pillowball. The rest should be fine for the life of the car sicne they are a mixed layer of rubber and metal, but it is always a good idea to check them out.
