You can save on labor cost though by taking the knuckle off of the car yourself and taking just that part to a shop to have the bearing replaced.

 

ok cool thanks CVC ill keep you posted.

 

hey yea so i started doing some searching and calling some places to see just how much the front bearing job would cost me and im looking at 440 Bucks... crazy. im gona have the shop double check before the job.

u guys recommend anything from this point?

 

make sense but is it worth the cost of doing the work myself with what im gona save? ill call and see how much it will be .how much do you figured i could save?

it could it be anything but the bearing as well?

THanks

 

You will save on the labor costs since the mechanic doesn't need to take the time to remove the knuckles.

I would say pulling/reinstalling yourself will save at least 2 hours. The amount you save is based on the hourly rate the shop charges.

 

sounds good. ill let you guys how it goes in a couple days

 

hey guys. sorry for the long wait. i been tied up. so im deciding to take the car into the shop to get the bearings done.

when i spoke to the mechanic he recomended that i also did the wheel hub/ (flange he calls)

Now... im bringing him the parts so what i decide goes.

do you guys think this is worth doing? i cant find the part for anything under 100 bucks or so.

if you guys can let me know if this is worth doing and if so; any place online i can find them for cheaper (new)

THanks guys

 

Not sure why he suggests replacing that, but that is up to you. The bearing is shot and the hub is making the noise due to the bearing being toast.

You can always try to find something at an online Honda dealer like hondapartsdeals.com. They are a dealership base in Rhode Island or something like that.

 

hey guys just wanted to give you guy the final notice that it was finally fixed and that is was the bearing! sorry it took me a while. (have been tied up)

i ended up changing the hub as well and took it to a good friend of mine and got the job done for 150$ without parts.

i hope this helps you guys and i appreciate the help!

i got another thread regarding the cruise control so im off to that now! and then some other stuff!

have a great day
