My wife's 1996 Intrepid is unsafe to drive according to Midas. I don't trust them but after seeing how the engine cradle and steering rack mount to the frame, and after reading the NHTSA website about the same topic, I'll have to agree with them for once. Her car has been parked for a week now pending a $831 rpeair bill. BUT, I think the work shouldn't cost that much. According to Midas, the bushings are $48 each for the cradle and $50 each for the rack. They say that's dealer retail price. Dodge dealer confirms it. RockAuto.com has the rack bushings for $28 each but does not list the cradle bushings, or at least I could not find them.
Does anyone know where I can obtain these bushings for a lower price, or someone in the Dallas area who can get them replaced cheaply? I have found one car lot over in Dallas who I bought my van from and his mechanic is willing to do the work if I drive the car 40 miles over there, but I'm afraid to. Will be cross-posting this on dodgeintrepid.net, but we have about a week to decide where and how to do the work before we need to take a trip to San Sntonio and if it's not done then we have to take my '79 Olds land yacht.
