Had my wheels off today and the rear sub frame mountings
(front ones) are coming away from the rubber.
Is it a DIY job or one for the indy? and if so how long would it take.

When I had mine done it cost 300 to change all four mounts, I decided to have the rear ones done since they were the same age as the jiggered front ones and would i suspect fail sooner rather than later.

The car has been markedly improved since the repair, well worth the spend, it feels like new.
