Chris,
I've had the same problem for a long time now but just can't seem to get the
car in. I want to pull the subframe myself and just have a shop press the
bushings. I've been quoted $10 each or $70 for all 8 (including a-arm
bushings) which the shop tells me are bad too. I would think that the
subframe could be supported with a jack and the subframe/a-arms dropped
down.
Steve Shock at Europarts ( orders at europarts-sd.com ) quoted me "Boge(OE)"
A-arm bushings at 4 for $31 and said he'd match the Blau set of subframe
bushings at $127 (incl. bolts and washers.) If I ever get this done, I will
have all of them replaced, I don't want to go to the trouble and have to
wonder if I needed to replace this or that when it still clunks.
FYI: he quoted $26 ea for front and $36 ea for rear (OEM) if you want to
replace a select bad bushing.
Let me know what you end up doing.
