2002 V70 2.4T. How long should it take, and how much should it cost to have the front end bushings replaced by a mechanic?

 

Not sure we always replace the entire control arms.
I have seen many people at the Dealer mess up the control arms using the special tool to replace the bushings.

 

The reason I'm asking is that I was told it's a 5 hr job, and at $90 per hr labour(plus parts), that's a lot of change!

 

I can't see it taking 5 hours unless they were doing the subframe bushings(Not control arms)

 

In our shop we charge about 2 hrs per side to replace both bushings in the control arms at about $95 an hour. In reality it only takes about 45 mins to remove the control arm and replace the bushings and reinstall the arm back into the car.
