Question
How much do you charge to remove and install rear axle subframe bushings and the right rear axle on a 1985 bmw 735I.

Answer
To do a job like this it would depend on MANY factors.It is a 1985 and if your in need of these bushings other issues may arise.The job requires you to remove the entire rear beam out of the car.That would include the rear end,c/v,exhaust,brake lines,emergency cables,to name a few of off the top of my head things that will need of removal.Its a job that takes a couple of good days.The bushings themselves aren't that bad to do,its just getting to them.So if the car is all in good shape this would be costly but is worth it.A 7  handles so very nice when the rear end tracks as it should. As far as your actual question about the cost it is hard to say,it wouldn't be cheap.
