Rear suspension arm bushes : How much to get done?

[RSV_Ecosse]

My Vec passed it's MoT last week with flying colours but I had an advisory for play in the rear suspension arm bushes, both upper and lower.

This would tally up with the creaking noise I have been getting from the rear of the car over the past month or so. Not got the time or facilities to change them myself so I was wondering if anyone had a ball park figure of how much this job normally cost's ( parts and labour ) to get done at a garage?.

I'll probably take it back to where I get the MoT's for our car's done and will ask them for a quote but I just wanted to ask you guys on here so I can decide if any quotes I get are reasonable or not in comparison.

Cheers.

Upper arms done by vx, parts and labour £270.00 had mine done last month.

supply your own arms

and they will charge 1- 1.5 hours labour mate..

or if they supply your looking at a charge of 40 quid per arm non vx.

Cheers guys. Nearly spat ma coffee out when I read that price Graham!!.

Thanks for the links, Dose - that looks a much more attractive price!.

I take it the upper bushes are just that then - bushes that need replacing?

i got those arms also fitted them my self i would advise getting some spare nuts though as they have a habit of vanishing on you lol hole it the sub frame on the car just the right size for the nut to fall into and i wasnt going to drop the whole rear subframe for the a god dam nut hehe

Was just checking our 55 reg Vectra C Club Hatch over with 40K on the clock before 2nd MOT..its due end in a couple of weeks time... and spotted the bushes on the rear lower suspension arm..the one that supports the rear spring...

Photos below... they look an absolute b*****ds to replace ....most threads/post regarding rear suspension bushes appear to be about the other arms on the rear suspension with little mention of those above...






Any one changes these????Advice would be welcomed...cheers
