My entire suspension rebuild for the 82 300TD was about $1000. That included new lower control arm bushings, New upper control arms, all steering tie rods and drag link. Rebuilt kit for the steering idle arm. New steering damper. New front coil springs. New track rod mounts and rod bushings. New sway bar mounts and bushings. New rear subframe mounts. New rear coil springs, new trailing arm bushings, new differential mount. Shocks were only 2 years old and had only 3000 miles on them so I reused the shocks.
This does not include the new coil spring compressor from Sir Tool. ( $550 to buy or $100 to rent for about 21 days)
Labor was by me, at no charge.
Throw it away, not a very knowledgable mechanic. Maybe thats why he works at Mieneke
