    Labor for camber arms + trailing arm bushings

    I was quoted $700-800 in labor alone to replace rear camber arms, and install new (spherical) RTABs in both locations. Does this seem reasonable? I have never had to do these services before.

    That's too much. It's not super easy because you have to at least move the diff around, if not remove, but it still should only take like 2 hours or $240 at typical $120/h. Maybe $500 tops for it and RTABs? Spherical RTABs are easier than factory, no need to clock them (preload).

    Camber arms' inner bushings, if like my eibachs (SPC) or turner/ecs with rubber bushings, need to be preloaded, but not spherical.

        A $300 alignment

        Maybe it's a fancy "corner balanced" one for op

          It depends on the shop. Maybe they charge $150 an hour. Maybe they are worth that, and maybe they are not. Figure two hours for the RTABs and two or three for the camber arms.

            That's what I figured. I was accounting for roughly $500--will start getting quotes from other shops. Or if anyone here on the forums wants to help I can give them the cash instead

              Does not include an alignment, I will be spending roughly $150 ontop of that $700-800.

                We can do it in my garage. I'm 45 min NW (405 to 101) of the westside (405/10 exchange)

                  Really? I'd be willing to give you shop rates -- I'd send a DM.
