Going to have the all front suspension bushings and tie rods done. Can any of you give me a general idea of how many hours of labor I'm looking at? My garage has worked on lots of 240's so I would have to imagine this will not be a difficult job for them. TIA

Just a shot in the dark, but I would guess 4 hours. It's not a 2-hour job, but it's not 8 hours, either.

Smitty is pretty close, I would say in the area of 1.5 per side for the lower bushings and about 1.5 total for the inner and outer tie rods and boots if it needs them. This makes for a total of 4.5 hours plus alignment. So somewhere between 4-5 hours plus align should be about right. Actual working time for a seasoned tech with all of the tools and the parts right there should be about 3 hours including alignment.

That said, if the car is rusty and crusty, salty nothern car, it could be more, and there could be parts needed you did not anticipate.
