the 200000 bill

the 200000 Mile Bill

Just got back from the dealer because of a blown tire (and the dealer honored the roadside warranty)...so i was psyched that it only cost me $20 for a new General Grabber HTS.

The overall scoping of the vehicle revealed the following...most of which were suspected.

Radiator replacement - 590 (has leak)
Struts - 590 each
Front Stabilizer bushings - 190
rear upper control arms - torn bushings - 400 each
rton drive azles leaked out - 400 each

Now.. the radiator has a leak but I can get one at autozone for 200 and have my regular mechanic put it in. Struts are what they are...not going to dealer so the price will come down. Do I need the entire upper control amrs, or should I just replace the bushings. I have always just replaced the bushings. Axles - will probably just get raxles and have my mechanic put them in. Is there anything else that i shoudl do while the suspensions is apart?

thanks for the input.

Plenty of information on the forums (t4r and T120) to help you out. You gotta use the search function.
