I've been tracking down a clunk noise coming from the back of my '90 auto IX. Had thought originally it might be the driveshaft running into the TC. Good news is it wasn't, the TC and VC are all in good working order. Bad news is that it looks like it's the 2 rear subframe bushings.
Shop locally here in Denver is quoting me about $1900 to fix it all, telling me that it's a huge job, about 10+ hours in labor because they have to take the entire rear axle out to get to it.
I'm at a crossroads here. My IX is in great condition besides this, only has 156,000 miles on it, no rust, straight body. Any thoughts on if spending this $1900 is worth that or if I can find someone to do it a lot cheaper than that? Any work arounds for subframe bushings? Would you guys just sell this and be done with it? I just literally don't have the time or knowledge to tackle this myself. Thanks for your help!
