Freeplay from front lower ball joint and arm rear bushes (requires new arm)

Any advice much appreciated..

[quote="ajp166"]Guys does this quote seem right for the following?

Front Diff pinion seal leaking (requires change)
Front anti roll bar bushes worn (requires change) £15 + 1 hours labour
Freeplay from front lower ball joint and arm rear bushes (requires new arm) £330 fitted
Wheel Bearing
Wheel alignment £70 Approx
Bluetooth update £70 exchange from wiggs

Any advice much appreciated.

These are prices from a landrover Indy specialist,I didn't change the arb's just packed them as there was nothing wrong with them.The ball joint can be removed without taking the arm off(despite what they say)so the wheel alignment doesn't need to be done.The arm comes with bushes and a ball joint installed so they just like to swap the whole thing for ease(doubt they would do it if THEY paid for it Rolling Eyes )
Bluetooth is a 2 min job,exchange unit from Wiggs(disco 3)I have just updated mine again to the latest unit allows multiple No's for one contact amongst other things.
There the ones I can help you with,hope it's of some use to you.

Just noticed yours is a TDV8 mines a V6

Cheers.

Just collected her and it feels like a different car!

This is what was done;

NSF wheel bearing - £276.28
Front lower suspension arms - £636.00
Wheel alignment - £204.00
Front anti roll bar bushes - £199.34
Rear anti roll bar bushes - £143.64
Front diff pinion seal - £247.91
Cigarette lighter not working - £22.80

What are peoples thoughts on the pricing?

No creeking suspension on the way home.. The car felt like it was much higher also.... I tried to lower seat but it was already at it's lowest... what would make it sit slightly higher?

I guess thats the price you pay for carrying all that extra weight with the Revere bodykit and 22" wheels Laughing Most of those repairs will be related to the 22" wheels and such low profile tyres most people will say. Crying or Very sad The cost of repairing the cig lighter was a bit steep, i'd guess it will have been a blown fuse Banging Head

Yes mate blown fuse...

Tbh I have had creaking for over a year so it did start before the 22'' wheels but saying that ofcourse the bushes will be getting smashed and wont last as long now.... It does feel so tight now though..... lets see how long that lasts.... Laughing
