Title: MC9 Lower Radius Rod bushing broken - hours to fix?
Post by: plyonsMC9 on June 23, 2010, 07:33:50 AM

Hi busnuts!

Could someone hazard a ballpark guestimate on hours required to replace the left front lower radius rod bushings on a 1983 MC9 ex-NJ transit?

I like having at least some kind of clue before I go in to work with the shop. I have a bank of 4 hours owed to me for some computer work ;D and am hoping that will at least get me close to the work required before I call.

Kind Regards,

Phil

I have to think that if you knew what you were doing, weren't figuring it out for the first time, had the tools and the part on hand, you could change two radius rod bushings in 4 hours. Unless something broke taking it off.

OK Phil,
If it's just wore out bushings 4 hrs will be close to covering it in MCI shop! If it's broken mount I'd say probably double it! (keep in mind I'm guessing since I don't work there, and haven't seen the actual problem in person!
;D BK ;D
