Depends on what bushes might need replacing. Some are easier than others.

Price is about right for Mazda prices.

I don\'t think replacing the bush takes too long, you need a good press or know someone with a good press.  Getting the arms off might take a little longer though.

Price seems about right.  Some are more expensive than others as I understand.  4 of mine on the rear were worn heavily, after they were replaced the handling on the car was superb to say the least...
