I started hearing a thumping sound every time we drove over bumps or slanted driveways. So we took it into a shop and got told we needed new shocks so we replaced them. Then we started having issues with the front tires so took it back into the shop and got told we needed tye rods so we replaced them. The thumping sound never went away so we took it into another shop and they told us we needed back springs and again we got them fixed. Lo and be hold the thumping sound went away for 2 days and now we are thumping away as we drive and even louder now..
So we took it to the shop the did our springs and now we were told it was the bushings. And he showed us a diagram and told us it will be $700 for just buy the bushings cuz you need to buy this whole piece cuz the bushings aren't sold alone. And he didn't even tell us how much the labor would be. Funny thing is the mechanic was on the phone talking in spanish and thought I didn't understand. They wanted to make at least a $300 profit just from us. SO I spoke to the man and shocked him when I spoke to him in spanish and I told him I will make the internet my friend and I will find out what I can do to replace my bushings.
So I did a google search and it lead me to here.. I hope someone can help me out..
