    Any shop recommendations to replace UCA bushings.
    I have Built Right UCAs and the quotes I’m getting seem a little high. 500$ range.

    Thats the more noble approach. You're being nicer than you have to.

    Whether it's your first house or your 5th, your realtor should be explaining to you what are and are not obligated to do. That's what you're paying them for.
    :eek: for swapping the bushings? You can get new UCAs for that much. Are you planning yo have them remove and re-install or drop them off.

    I googled pictures and they look similar to the Total chaos and JBA design which can be removed and pressed in by hand or a using a hammer at most. Shouldn't need a shop TBH.

    Ya I’m kinda bitching out cause of the snow and weather. It’s cold in Wyoming. Agreed though it absolutely falls into the DIY category

    JBA has some new ones for ~550
    Good to know I don’t need a press. maybe I’ll use that 500 and buy an impact wrench.
    or the girlfriend an birthday present.



    nah impact wrench is a better choice...

    Yes I love my JBAs, got them installed a couple months ago.

    If its $500 for rebuilt bushings and you don't want to go DIY on pressing in new bushings, my vote goes to JBA. Install is simple as could be and they are really good quality. I will say.... the unsolicited Jesus DVD:evil: in the package threw me off a bit:anonymous: but that doesn't affect my outlook on the product, super happy with that purchase.

    I like to think that with that kind of skill level I would be exempt from needing any help.

    The ones that need it the most, never know they need it.
    Clearly, you have yet to reach that first step.
    You know.... the admitting you have a problem part?
    It's ok. We're here for you when you're ready.
