this is what $1,500 on maintenance parts looks like direct from Acura. Wish it was going elsewhere! 119,000 miles and running strong.

do you mind naming what you got there? i'm at 138k and should be investing in the same...

well it all started with a bad FR wheel bearing. Then found a bunch of bushings that were bad. So.... for both sides: new uprights, upper and lower arms, bearings, spindles, bolts, nuts, etc, new rotors and pads.
Felt that if one was bad, no far behind for the other, and this way i can install all new parts at the same time, and not worry about down time pressing the bearings etc.

Nice! Most people will just spend that $1500 on aftermarket parts instead of maintaining their cars. Good job! :thumbsup:

Well, performed the surgery on Sat, took, well, .....11 hours!! Thanks to a seized axle in the hub and seized bolt on one side, two broken tie rod ends that I wasn't expecting and a seized bolt on the other side and seized ABS sensor. Broke two ball joint splitters and had to call a buddy for an air hammer, compressor as well as a torch. All in all, would be a very easy install except for all the rust/seized parts. Saved alot of $$$$ with labor though. a few pics:
