Dealer is asking to replace Rear Subframe brushing
Quoted 3800 for this
Anyone has any idea
When I look at google it says repair ranges from 250-500

Go somewhere else. This can be done at any repair shop for much less than dealership.
What is the reason you need them replaced?

You mean, stabilizer bushing? That's an easy DIY job, so should cost no more than a couple hours worth of labor. The dealer is a crook.

Likely not sway bar bushings, more like any plate or substructure under vehicle that holds all the suspension in place. I'd be seriously questioning that as those commonly need replacing less than actual suspension bushings. Often never. Unless vehicle is up north in really salty areas.

i`m "up north in a really salty area" (NH) and havent had any problems of that kind. The swaybar bushings where a real booger though. Describe for us whats happening and when so we can get a better idea.

I am in the even saltier area - Toronto, Canada. And the van is holding up surprisingly well, except for the completely rusted through oil pan, which I replaced last year.
Not even having typical subframe rot where AC drips on it.
