What is a resonable price to pay for the replacement of a torque bushing (w/o the cost of the part) - labor only? Local dealer charges about $115.00 for the labor.

thanks

 

I assume you are talking about the Upper torque mount. That goes from the top of the engine to the body.

Some dealers will charge 1 hour and some will charge 1.5 hours.

Find out what they charge an Hour and then see if they are charging 1 or 1.5.

 

They are charging one hour -$105.00/hour labor. My mech said $80.00. If it was not getting cold, I would do it myself -did it last time, but not so good -did not align the arrow well, and after only 2 years the bushing is getting cracks. I feel that if it is not done, I nay need a new front engine mount sooner.

 

Order the urethane bushing from IPD and then you won't have to worry about it anymore.

It installs easy to. It is a 2 peice bushing.

 

Some people report increased vibration during start-up and driving when using uretane mount...

 

You might get a little more but it will last for the rest of the time you own the car.
