Tad,

Bushings I had done by a shop - they did it without even asking me, it was so routine. Charged me very little in parts and labor. So I can't give you any details.

I can tell you something about the windows, though.

My left rear window failed soon after I bought the car. I removed the door panel (sorry, this was before I got my digital camera), and found a little plastic part having gone to car parts heaven. After a little research I found that this is common, and is a wear part designed to fail (and keeping the rest of the mechanism in good shape). Removed the armature, drilled out the old rivet, pounded in the new part (the only pain, because I did not get the rivet of the new part to look as neat as the original), reassembled everything - window works flawlessly.

Total costs: $7.75 (two years ago)
