my rear bushings on the top of the right rear shock is the problem. There is nothing wrong with the shocks. I just want to replace the top bushing/mount....and can buy it for like $25...but it seems everyone thinks I am thinking of shooting the president if i ONLY do that.
THAT is the 'hard' part to get to and replace. I can get the kit that has all the pieces, but I need to jack up the back, put stands someplace under the suspension, etc.....so...thats where i am stuck. All I want to do is replace the top busing 'kit', it is the problem. And these unreal estimates i am getting dont include replacing the top bushing/mounting plate. I would think replacing JUST that top part would not have to jack up half the car to get to it and replace it. But I am told i am wrong, and no one says different. So IF i do anything, i have to BUY a floor jack,jack stands, tools, and THEN figure out where to put everything. I am online now looking at 'free repair manuals'...that all turn out to be like $19.99 per month to get access to...thats free? IF i buy a repair manual from Chilton....i think it is like more than the shocks! I'm getting VERY pissed at this car.
