Default bushing replacement $$$

so my car needs new bushings(i know, i know, really common), it squeaks just driving around town and when i go over bumps or anything unless its a perfectly smooth road. ive been just turning my radio up for now to cover it up but i know you can hear it outside of the car and its just plain embarrassing to be driving a squeaky car, SO...my main question is how much do you guys think it will cost to buy new bushings and have them installed(ive seen posts on how to do it but id rather pay for this to be done cause im kinda busy with work and stuff at the moment)??? i only need the rears replaced because the fronts dont make any noise(just need a rough price estimate). thanks in advance guys/girls

wow that was alot longer than i originally intended lol

I got a quote from the lexus dealership in san jose, ca for complete LCA, UCA and Sway bar bushings for 1,400.00 (inc parts). (If anyone knows a cheaper place in Norcal please let me know!) So I'd recommend buying reconditioned or new LCA's and have a mechanic install them.

I had to replace my rear wheel bushings in 05. Instead of going to the dealer I called TM Engineering.net here in LA. There are a few toyota dealerships that carry an alternative to the Lexus parts. I think it was $300! check out the website. The company that makes the part is form Japan and a few dealerships across the country sell it. I'm happy with mine....but now I'm on to other issues with my SC300..............

Diazen had the bushing replacement. I spent less than $600 for the part and labor together. Forget the Lexus' bushings.............they're not acknowledging the issue!
