That isn't even getting into the amount to replace the prop valve and bleed the brakes. I guess it was all the extra time he spent fabbing up that special U bend in the hard lines on the rear axle...that are going to need to be redone.
Well you know better then I do. I ASSumed with the adjustable arms of the 4 link there was some kind of alignment performed, not just a slap it in deal.
Was an estimate never given? Not trying to be a Richard but I couldn’t see dropping something off to have work done without some kind of idea what it’ll cost. Saves both parties a bit of headache I would think.
