Air bag Replacement
#2

i have done airbags on an 84, 99, 02. i am not sure how many bags are on your front axle.

i would say depending on your airbag, (which can run from 125 to 250 bucks each), that 2 hours labor for each one might be a guestimate. so if you have 8 bags and each one cost 200 bucks each plus 300 labor each, that would be 4k. so say i am wrong and each bag is 150 and can be done in an hour, you are at 2400 bucks. plus shop expenses, any new fittings (i usually put new fittings on and airlines if easy enough) i assume most shops are at least 150 an hour now.

it is why i like to do it myself if at all possible. if you have the single airbag front IFS, there are a few tricks to getting the bag on and off. that learning time for those as with all the others takes some time as well. those front IFS bags are closer to 250 each and only avail from newell.

so.....it aint cheap.

pretty broad ranges....2k to over 4k with bags. depending on what airbags you have, what shop rate you get charged and if there are any problems.and maybe the shop can get the hang of it and get the bags done faster than 2 hours each.

i looked on the foreforum and they said that they had shops that could do all 8 bags in 4 hours. different rig for sure. but another data point. so 4 hours at 150 plus average of 175 per bag to buy is 225 per bag for just a little under 2k. i wouldnt count on that for ours.

enough scenarios. you get the gist.

if you were at shop mccloud, assuming visiting, lunches, trips to get parts and more visiting.....it would be a 2 day job. ha

and a rzr sxs ride or two
