If you and your mates can do the work
(apart from the wheel alignment) then you will save a hell of a lot of
money. For 250 bucks fitting them
yourself, you could get some awesome shockies rather
than the bogey ones they will fit. Hey
at home I have a set of Monroe sensatracs for the front and rear of a datto (standard front struts) that have only done 4000km of
city driving. Nothing wrong with
them, I just upgraded to a set of koni’s. Make an offer if you are interested? Rear cross member bushes will be a bit exy cause they are big bushes but
definitely not $147 worth. Anyway
if you can do a bit of DIY let the guys around here know and I’m sure we’ll
be able to give you enough advice to do the job properly. I know, cause I
just replaced all the bushes on my 1600 by myself.
Cheers

mate there is only one
place to go to in canberra, all the others are shite.
they are in fishy, howard
revell the guy there is really good and knows about dattos.
DO NOT go to revell in
braddon.
Another option is to go
to the shell at the top of belconnen and talk to the mechani there with the red
beard, NOT THE MANAGER, and ask for some weekend work off the books. they are
goodm cheap and quite quick.

Hi All,
Took my car to Pedders (I know, bad me) yesterday for
a 28 point check... I knew it needed a wheel alignment and I thought they could
shed some light on why it wanders. Current suspension is very stiff, front more
so than the back. Blah blah blah, they said it would never be 100% but if I was
to replace all bushes with rubber it would certainly help and that my current
wheels and tyres (TRX rims wearing 195/55/15 tyres) weren't exactly helping
matters. Here's the list of failures and the quote to replace them...
Front shocks $250 ,Front bump stops
$87, Rear shocks $148, Subframe mounts $147, Wheel Alignment $60.
So including labour of $480 the grand
total comes to $1172!
Does anyone else think this is a bit
rich? Anyway, options? Do I shop around for a better price (any ideas on who
else to go to in the ACT, pref Belco but will travel if necessary) or do I get
the front end done first and the back when I can afford it...
