Hi all, at a recent roadworthy, I was told that the suspension on my 2000 TJ is pretty shot and almost illegal. Certainly she handles a bit like a wet cardboard box.
I have a quote from Pedders Brookvale to replace some control arms and all the bushings for about $2,080.
Question - is there anything specific I should ask for in terms of type or brand name of bushing or control arm?
Bumblebee has had a lift by a PO, no idea if it was done right. She is used 99% for suburban runaround and maybe 1% on the beach. All advice welcome!
Have heard of people getting Pedders free 100,000 point suspension check , and been left wondering how they survived the trip there.Quoted many thousands of dollars, went else where and got a few bushes replaced , and everything was fine.
