Suspension work flat rates (Labor) needed.

Is there a website that contains flat labor rates for Porsche work?

I am going to have some suspension work done, and wanted to get some idea on how long the work should take, and how much it should cost.

I am replacing the following on my 1986 911.
Rear Spring plate bushings
Front A Arm bushings
Turbo tie rods
Full alignment

Thanks in advance

Dave,

Labor rates all over the country by location. I would suggest that you call around YOUR area see what is the prevailing rate at the dealers as well as independent shops.

Flat rates are different between Mitchell and Porsche so that may not help. Further, flat rates are notoriously inconsistent in accuracy and I find them to be largely unreliable.

I would allow 14-16 hours for what you've outlined since the car must be corner-weighted as well.

Steve,

Thanks for that. It is indeed a lot of work, and I am anxious to get it done, but it is always good to have a general idea of what to expect, prior to the estimate coming in.

Thanks again
Dave
