Front bushings

[twodko]

Realizing the parts/labor costs can vary widely depending on location, what's the ballpark cost of replacing all the front end bushings on my 69? I want to do a disc brake conversion this summer but the car really needs bushings. I'd rather do it all unless it means oatmeal and hardtack for the rest of the year.

It's tedious, but not particularly difficult. It's also time consuming, so I imagine the labor would be pricey. I pulled my control arms and took them to a machine shop and only had to pay for pressing the old ones out and new ones in. That was almost 20 years ago, so I don't remember what it cost me, but it wasn't much.

If it were 10 years ago and before spinal fusion, screws and rods I'd take that on in a minute but now.........

my local gas station repair shop would do them, they charge $65 an hour. on something that old you get the parts and then pay for labor, but you know you will find more things to change out once you dig in.
$300 would change out the whole front end. could be done in a day with a lift and mechanical experience. problem is when you want to start cleaning and painting the parts you break down.
