rear axle mount bushes deteriorating - MoT Advisory

[devonia]

Good afternoon, everyone,

 

I've got a 2.4 AH10 Alphard that produced the above -- Could anyone explain how serious this is and how difficult/expensive to fix and where to get the bits needed?

Hi Devonia. I had to hsve these bushes replaced earlier this year. Local garage did it and tbh they had a heck of a job. Took ages to remove and replace. Cost approx £1700. Expensive but it's the first big job I've had to have done. Wish you good luck

Had mine done cost me £350 labour bushes cost about £80 can send you link if you be careful  what you buy off eBay there are sellers selling £35 a pair they rubbish and don’t last I made that mistake and it cost me twice labour

It’s not serious but get them done before your next mot

Check at your local Toyota garage as there's a special tool which makes the job a lot easier, not all Toyota outlets have the tool though but you may be lucky, guys at Carlisle have one but a bit away from yous

Depends on where you are on Dartmoor but Snows (a Toyota main dealer) will do the work at Exeter, Plymouth or Paignton.

 

AS t is an existing Advisory by assured it will be thoroughly checked at the next MOT.

As Lee, suggests, get them replaced before then.

 

What Ian was charged is ridiculous.

Hello

i had mine done by two garages! I bought the parts and one garage did the front ones but then decided that as it was a hybrid the main power cable was too close to where they had to work to do the rear ones as they could not power it down to work safely on it. The second garage would not use the parts I had bought and used genuine Toyota rear bushes.

total cost was about £1800.

Hi, Had mine replaced last year as part of the  MOT Test[I had previously purchased the new bushes]. Labour cost sensible as always. Red Post Garage, Bude, Cornwall.
