My 2 cents, Dont go to Fuego Racing, might end up getting your engine blown up when it was only a pillowball job lol.

What all do you want done besides pillowballs? that seems like an odd job to me.

At 105,000 miles, probably most of the bushings.

Well you could try calling Tito @ 407 647 0044 or just stop by the shop off Forsyth.

I wouldnt bother with changing bushings unless you are making a big change such as swaybars, coilovers, shocks, etc.

If you don't mind a drive, I can easily do them - done quite a few, and I have the balljoint press to make for a quick and easy job, as well as air tools .

I'd charge $100 to do the whole shootin' match.

BTW, the pillow ***** on the FD start to clunk as they wear out, making for a very annoying sound and making the handling much more sloppy. These are metal/nylon pivoting bushings - the dust boots fail over time, grit gets in the bushing, and eats out the nylon inside.

Dale,
Thanks for the offer. Pensacola is a bit of a hike, but I'll keep you in mind.
Thanks!
