hi guys,

was wonderin' how much does it normally cost to replace the fullset of bushings for the front-end of e30?and wer is best to do it?

thanx in advance for any respond.

Rough prices off the top of my head:
Standard front lower control arm bushing: RM30-35 each
or
Offset M3 front lower control arm bushing: RM75-90 each

Engine mounts: RM60 each (I think?)
Then you have transmission mounts as well, I'm not sure price for that.
Then also bushings for front ARB, make sure you get the correct size for your ARB, different E30s had different size ARBs.

Although to be honest, while doing those, you might as well take care of the ones at the rear:
Rear subframe bushings (2 pcs)
Rear trailing arm bushings (4 pcs)
Rear ARB bushings (2 pcs)
Rear differential bushing (1 pc)

Offset M3 front lower control arm bushing <---good shit!

chris.. you avatar needs bushing..kekekeke...

Hehehehehe... yeah correct bro

thanx for the feed & info.any idea hw much does it cost overall?wat if for front only and for front and back?atleast i hav a comparison.n suugestion wer to do it?i stay near BU.

thanx.

Hmm, rear subframe bushing were about RM70 each, and trailing arm bushings was RM55+ per pair (2 pairs), I remember the diff bushing is about RM50-60 or something.

When I did mine, labour was about RM150 for front + rear, but that included some additional work on changing all oil seals on my transmission and differential while it was down and a couple other things. I didn't change ARB bushings though.

that is why i do in stages, wear and tear bukan semua sama. So just change whatever parts yang cepat rusak hehehe...

Suggest, diagnos your car and check all the bushing. so you can change the damaged part first. unless you already got Wooonggaaa!

mm..

just bought Axle Mounting @ RM110 (first division) huhu mahal gak..
