Thanks !
Local dealer quoted me 4 hours for both lower and upper in rear. I wonder how much they gonna charge me for rear knuckle bushings replacement as they need to be pressed out of each knuckle assembly.

The knuckle bushings are an easy job, there is a proper sized kit that I bought to do the uppers, but the lowers I improvised with threaded rod and suitably sized sockets. As a rank amateur I will have done all 4 in an hour. Bottom ones have a circlip, top don't. Once they start moving it's easy
