Suspension Bushings
ok, i got my bushing kit and engine mounts from kspec and i have to install them.
what should i do?
go to a shop and have them do everything?(how much would it be??)
or is there any way that i can take all the bushings down to the shop and just have them press the old ones out and put the new ones in, them go home and bolt them up?
i'm leaning towards just having a shop do it because of my schedule lately, but if i can get everything done in about half a day i'd do it myself

are you talking about all suspension bushings?
how many miles do you have on your Tibby?
be ready to cut bolts, cause half of them may be stucked.
I took my car to a shop - cost about $100 with wheel alignment. But I'm in Ukraine, labor here is smaller. BTW they changed rear suspension bushings for whole day!
After you change bushings you need to do alignment, don't foget about it, cause bad alignment can wear out tires fast.
I also recommend you to buy new bolts, or at least ask shop if they have new bolts.

WTF? half a day for just the rear? i think they were milking it...but neways..labor around here is about 60 at the cheapest and an alignment for coilovers is about 80
i only have 93k on my tibby but i've had my coilovers set extremely hard since i got them three years ago, so they have been beaten on to say the least.
and i got the bushing kit from kspec and the engine mounts.
