Hey guys!
My suspension has felt a bit off lately; feeling quite stiff and bumpy.
I drive a 2006 Subaru Liberty 3.0R Spec B. I took it to Fulcrum Suspension to get a free suspension inspection, and was quoted the following:
SPF3096-18K SUBARU SWAY BAR MOUNT BUSH KIT - $36.28
SPF3388-70K SUB LIB RR TRAIL ARM FR BU KT - $142.43
MISC STRUT TOPS (2) - $258.00
Suspension Labour - $327.27
Front & Rear Wheel Alignment - $109.09
Consumables Charged - $12.50
Total with tax: $974.13
Do you think this a reasonable price? Looks like we are just replacing some bushings and strut tops, in summary. I know this is quite a common procedure for anyone with a Liberty above 100k kms.
I am probably going to buy the parts myself from Subaru or a 3rd party and hunt around for a better quote on the labour. Any suggestions on how to get this done cheaper, besides doing it myself as I am definitely no mechanic unfortunately.
Also, is it worth upgrading rear sway bar to Whiteline? I can see on their website that they can also provide the bushings.
Thank you for your time.
