Where you fix your car? If around city area this is reasonable, if out skirt the labor or pressing cost maybe cheaper a bit.

Seems pretty reasonable. But from my research, you can buy brand new lower arms (with new bushings) for about the same cost or less. Which is why I just got new ones instead.

I guess replacing just the bushings in more environmental friendly?

You need to do survey first, not all lower arm cost & quality is the same & owner also preference.
They are a lot so call cheaper OEM lower arm set you can buy you cant know what rubber bush quality they give to you.
So if the lower arm metal part is still good, most owner will prefer to buy original bush or performance type to replace.
As least they know what bush quality is fitted.

just changed my subaru arm bush yesterday. total 4 pcs, 2 big 2 small.

Upah cost me total rm130 only (bought the bush from shopee). location at Ampang (can waze for FX20 Auto)

surveyed at other tyre shop around ampang mostly ask for rm300 above

The mechanic is correct.
Need a hydraulic press to do this. Shops that do this also usually offer higher performance and more expensive bushings which amount to you buying the entire standard lower arms.

Well, I was replacing the lower arm for my proton saga and replacing with original proton lower arm is equal to or cheaper than just changing the bushing. Of course, I'm not saying the experience will be the same for all makes and models. If your car is on a different category, or you want to use performance parts, obviously the price is going to be different.

Standard rate to pump one bush is between RM20-30.

Add the cost of the bush. Plus determine the existing condition of the ball joint.

I just replace my lower arm. The cost replace bushing you add 20-30% can get new part already.

I changed the bush cos the cost for brand new original/performance lower arms cost more, plus my mech said my cars' arms in good condition still. This shop is in PJ.
But overall I am satisfied with the bushes, most significant difference when steering at high speeds. Steering feel inspires confidence. This just FYI for peeps considering the Hardrace hardened rubber bushes. Your wallet lighter abit leh

Hey bro, you replaced the whole arm or just the bushing? I'm located near Ampang area too. RM130 upah is cheap!



BTW, saw this guy replacing the bushing with just a G-clamp!

If you are in KL, you can try Lan Automotive & Engineering in Ampang. I haven't tried it before, but let me know the results, price and service. I got to know about their service from a YT video.

Usually, if you are looking to replace the bush only, not many workshops will be able to do it; therefore, they need to send it out to others. Unless you are changing to poly bush, then they will have.

Its a bit troublesome for WS as they need to source the Bush and get the press plus the waiting time needed.

Hi, sorry to try to revive this old tread, same goes to where can i go for a budget/cheap bush change? I'm looking for WS that is able to do not to expansive cause i got 10 bushes need to be change （bought all original rubber bush myself import)

I saw recommendation of FX 20 Auto Ampang, unfortunately I think they closed according to Map view,

btw, I'm in Klang Valley area, base in Klang

The only place I know in Ampang is Lan Auto.. but a lots mixed reviews. Another place is FRL Performance (Also under lan Auto). Cheap but the workmanship is meh.. Need to pay attention when they are doing.

Iswara can replace LA bushing?

not worth the time and cost replacing just bush for local malaysia / japanese cars, just replace the entire new lower arm, about same price, less hassle, easy job.

Change one set... But from experience. Better off getting ORI as OEM has problems such as alignment and bushing quality. Dont let the price get you!
