 Leaf spring bushings Don't really have a question about them. Stopped off at Predator 4WD today to see about getting new bushings installed in the Super Duty springs. $621.00 for an estimated 6 hours of work. When did shop labor rates go to 100/hour?

Leaf spring bushings Labor sounds right, about 1 1/2 hours per spring but he used to be 85 an hour he's crazy if he went to 100

Re: Leaf spring bushings That is Predator for you. They are on the high side... For the money, you can buy a press from Harbor Freight and do them yourself and still save alot of money.

Re: Leaf spring bushings We were at 138.00 hr in Steamboat. It has been around that for a long time at most shops. And the techs are still getting paid the same for 20 years.
A friend of mine worked at predator for a while, he couldn't make a living on the income and he does phenomenal work, ended up moving back to Florida.
