Re: $1183 for labor!! 200 87

Hi Scott, I've got a little Volvo shop in Canby, OR, 20 miles south of Portland. I did a quick estimate of the time it should take to change those parts and its more like 9.6 hours. Here's the breakdown: front control arm bushings-1.2 hrs, rear trailing arm bushings-3 hrs, ball joints-1.2hrs, front struts-2hrs, motor mounts-1.2hrs. I didn't include the rear torque rod bushings because I would recommend that you revert to the earlier style rod bushing that you can get from the wrecking yard for real cheap. They are a better, more solid bushing than the later style,and rarely ever wear out. I think they changed at about the 1980 model year. You may want to consider going to a Volvo specialist rather than a general foreign car shop, and have them do just the stuff that requires the special tools. Anyway thats my two cents. Hope it works out for you.
