    Hi guys

    I'm looking for a car mechanic to replace all bushes on wishbones (front and rear) in my 2003 Ibiza 1.2.

    Based in Dublin.

    Can I get a quote, please?

    Have you got the wishbones or do u need them supplied as well as fitted. Are u sure it's the wishbone per say and not the bushing on the back park of the wishbone.

    I already ordered all bushes, joints, tie rod ends and stabiliser links. So I just need to get them fitted on my car. There are two wishbones (2 bushes and ball joint on each) in the front and axle on the back.

    Well there are two wishbones on the front, and axle on the back.

    So 4 bushes, two joints, tie rod ends and stabiliser links to be replaced on the front.

    4 axle bushes to be replaced on the back.

    I know a mechanic who does this work for half of what other independents were quoting me at the time, he is in Terenure though...
