Anti lift kit - how much to install?
« on: August 07, 2016, 12:39:41 am »
As per the title, how much should the install cost? Is it a simple thing for a garage to do?

I am assuming this is not something that I can do :)

no replies from anyone, but just had one quote at £70+VAT for fitting. Will take a couple of hours too. Does this sound about right? Anyone? Bueller?

Anti lift is pretty simple tbh.

Lift car, undo 3 bolts at ball joint undo bolts connecting bush housing to sub frame. Pull the old kit off and push on the new.
Tracking will take longer to do.

thanks for that. Again, good to know. I'll check with my local garage if they can do all that. They are usually pretty good so we'll see.

if £70+ vat is the hourly labour charge than i would say thats correct.

Thanks mvb12.

I've just popped to see my local garage who said it'll be £20 per side plus time to do tracking. So anything between £60 and £100 inc VAT. Booked in for Friday :)

Its really straight forward to do. I think Id do it mmyself and get the tracking done afterwards at garage as long as you dont have far to drive
