Redwarf Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Most suspension places do them, I know Pedders do, as my car has all Pedders bushes. Beware, there are two different sized sets of bushes for the rear springs on a KE20. Quote
Jono Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 yeah, i got stung by that first time around. Quote
Sim Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Posted July 11, 2007 what sort of price am i lookin at for a full set of bushes? if anyone can remember off the top of their heads. Quote
Redwarf Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Are we just talking about the rear springs/ shackles here? Edited July 11, 2007 by Redwarf Quote
kangaroosa Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 I just recently replaced everything on my KE30. Tie rod ends, sway bar bushes (d shaped and circular), strut bar bushes, ball joints, LCA bushes, front and rear eye bushes on the leafspring..... All up it was over $200 but under $300 i think. My parts bloke stuffed me around so i got them in dribs and drabs as he ordered wrong parts etc. so i don't have a complete receipt to refer too. Quote
TheNOBBLER[RL] Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Thats still not a bad price... Considering what you ordered. If you buy a "sports" bush pack for a commodore your up for about $350-$400 and your not getting alot more in it. I did my ke55 coupe about 5 years back and I was stung just over $300 then. Most likely because it was in Mildura, you tend to have to pay what they want in small towns! Jarrad Quote
robj Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 I paid around 230 for the complete set of bushes (not rubber ones) they were super pro ones. That's for my early KE25. Some early KE25's have small bushes for the front of the rear leaf, other early KE 20/25's have the larger one. I had trouble getting the small ones, so had them machined from nylon, around 35 dollars. Quote
kangaroosa Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) I should have added that all the bushes I listed above are Polyurethane. Both Super Pro and Nolothane were used to make up the complete set. If possible, do a check check/guess measure of the bushes you can get to. I noticed the KE30's share a few different sized bushes between models/years. One of the two companies catalogues don't list as many part numbers as the other. I found out the hard way after all the parts were ordered from one catalogue, but a handfull of them were wrong. After consulting the other catalogue, we found more part numbers for certain items.
