Not mine vehicle, a friend of mine, lower arm and rear axle.
Mine only did rear engine mount to PU.

The mechanic quote 2 prices, one for Proton part and one from OEM. Proton part is RM220 and OEM is RM180. Both inclusive workmanship.
My problem right now is finding a workshop that has the hydraulic press and can do the necessary change.

Sounds like Proton. Do you drive a vehicle with forced induction? So how is the vibration that gets transmitted in now?

Yeah proton.
Nope, only drive forced induction vehicle when working. 
The only thing that vibrate while idling, is my RHS side mirror and minor vibration on my steering wheel.

Went to change my tires today and the workshop guy told me the lower arm bushing kong oredi. He recommend me to replace the whole lower arm at rm200+. When i asked why can't they just change the bushing, they said cuz need special equipment which costs extra. Add up with replacement bushing about the same price.

How accurate is this? Is there any workshop around PJ area that specialise in this? My car is Proton Saga FLX.

I know a place in karak that can replace bushing. if u want go that far let me know.

Bush replacement can be done but very little profit margin

Like everyone said... it's almost not worth it. A lower arm has 3 bushes... per bush maybe is rm30 x 3 = RM90. Hydraulic press bush is rm25 per pc = rm75.

Altogether also rm165 already. And the time taken is so much longer. Have to take the lower arm out la... bring to fella press la and all. Labour also how much?

Just change the lower arm.

Yeah... guess I'll just get the OEM part from the shop.
The price quoted is inclusive of workmanship. I see the Proton pricelist certainly can get cheaper but I think it's purely for the part.

Haih... this is probably why almost nobody does it.

replace lower arm is 30 minute job only

I meant replacing just the bushing. Not every workshop has the hydraulic press to do it.

personally, i find changing to PU bushes are more cost effective and durable in the long run.

at least thats for me,i have change almost 80% of all my bushes to PU.
Yes, not many places done that, especially in JB.
I know its more common in KL.

recently i also just change my rear bushes that are worn to PU, cost RM180 for both side.
