My Honda dealer advised I needed new bushings on my car (Honda Civic Ex Coupe-2000 w/78,000 miles). He said it would cost $1,000+. Internet says bushings cost between $6.97 and $44.00 and the replacement time is 1 to 1 1/2 hours. This doesn’t add up to $1,000 to me. Any info would be appreciated.

Exorbitant cost to replace bushings

In contrast the Dealer may pay dearly but sells them back to the manufacture at a profit in a warranty situation.
