Suspension Bushings - Mechanic Recommendation Teeside

Post by henryc »

I want to replace the upper wishbone bushings on our very squeaky T25. Looking for a mechanic recommendation ideally close to Hartlepool but willing to travel.

I understand it's a bit of a tricky job, but haven't yet found a mechanic willing to do it or give me an accurate quote! Someone told us up to £300 per side :shock:

Cheers!

Something wrong with your profile - Lancaster is nowhere near Teesside :D

I know a decent mechanic who used to have a T25 for many years so he knows his way round them. He doesn't have a garage/business, but if you are interested in this approach I can contact him and see if he is available. More Redcar than Hartlepool, so the other side of the river.

3hrs very tops for both sides and that's if you have problems with ballpoint cap heads dieing on you. Then decent alignment on top to make sure :wink:
