I work at a small engine repair shop (we actually have a full machine shop in the back that no one knows how to run)
anyway i'm always getting people asking me to do knuckle rebuilds and 90% of the time i have to turn them down because of a lack of spare time/tools at home.
I never have the time or tools at home to do them and if i do it's a PITA to get them from work to here.
Over the winter from Nov to March 31st I got the owner to approve doing knuckle rebuilds at the shop. We have a shop large enough to keep all vehicles parked inside.
For all paid UC member price would be $250 labor to install bearing/seal kits. You supply your own knuckle rebuild kit and grease/fluids to cut down on my shopping list and you get to use whatever products you consider best.
For non UC members $350.
Considering that it's a 6-8 hour job so long as you don't break any rusty bolts or find leaky brake lines or other unplanned obstacles it's a pretty good price considering our labor rate is on par with most smaller auto shops at $58 an hour.
I have to split the labor 50/50 with the shop but it's a small price to pay in order to access the full machine shop in the back!!!
So if your not an UC member...pay the fifteen bucks and get a $100 discount!!!
a donation of $1.00 from each knuckle rebuild will go towards me keeping my fj40 as non clemson mafia like as possible.
