Engine: S60: - Wishbones - Labour time..

chiptivo · Apr 28th, 2013, 15:18

I gave up on my attempt to replace my wishbones this morning..

Time for a garage to have a go. (Or any forum experts who need the cash?)

What sort of time/money are we talking for two wishbone replacements (Have some genuine re-bushed volvo ones.)

what caused you to give up?

Id say an hour or two labour?

chiptivo · Apr 28th, 2013, 16:23

Had issues with the lower ball joint, just too tight..

Also concerns of the driveshaft getting knackered.

Wasn't confident of the racket wrench releasing the wishbone correctly..

Not the best day..

I would rather a confident member had a go for payment then take it to a garage..

45 mins to an hour per side - any garage could do it with the caveat that you instruct them to use new bolts where applicable and provide them.

Well annoyed I could not do this myself.
