Okay, I don't want to get ripped off (again) - what would be a semi-reasonable price to have;
- Front Springs, supplied and fitted (brand new ones).
- Supply and replace worn outer tierod end
- re-tension/repack a wheel bearing
Cheers.

Front struts on a VL are a pain in the arse to work on, due to the way the castor rod and tie rods connect to them. Would have to be the worst design ever...
I always pay people to do the front on mine, not worth the frigen around they cause.
In saying all that, mechanics will charge about $50-$60 per hour.
So how long does it take.....
A couple of hours + parts
King Springs about $150
Tie Rod about $35
+ Labour @ 2 hours $120
=$305 + GST
What about a wheel alignment, you will need one if they change the tie rod end???
an extra $30??
So yeah i wouldnt pay anymore than $400.
