I asked a local shop about installing Superpro rear cradle bushings, and I got some unexpected responses. Could anyone help clarify for me?
1) Mechanic said these bushings can become "frozen in" after a few years and would be difficult to remove / impact ride quality. Any legitimacy to this?
2) Mechanic suggested a realignment after the install. I just had my front realigned 6 months ago. Do I really need a rear realignment, or are they just trying to get more $$ out of the deal?
3) Mechanic said that their estimate is between 2-4 hours. 4 HOURS?! Really?! I don't see how this could be more than 3 max. Is this reasonable?
3) Mechanic made no mention of Green Grease, but I read on other threads that this is a 'must' to prevent creaking noise. Require this as part of the install?
Thanks all!
