wow....
 

Way worse than we all thought. Axle rod replaced, bearing was toast, 4 new calipers, all new brakes, rotors (we were going to do those anyway this year ).

basically this car has been rebuilt this year... lol

Damn.

Hey Stop Killing Your Car!!!! I KNOW YOUR READING THIS NINJA DAN!!!!!

lol, the seal popped, axle rod was rubbing enough on the bearing to cause damage to the rod. That caliper seized, so in pulling it all apart they found what we already knew about the brakes. we had the intention of replacing them all in a few weeks.

so everythings all new. emphasis on SHOULD NOT!!! have any other issues in the near future. lol

sounds familiar! owned the car 3 weeks, new steering rack, ps pump and hoses, reservoir, balljoints,tie rods,sway bars and bushings and links, alternator,battery, serp belt, main pulley,ac compressor, now it needs struts and mounts in the front..so im looking at another $600 in work needed ASAP. FML.

why asap? are they falling out? leaking? making noise? i had almost 200k on my struts. were they good NO but i wouldn't say ASAP on stuts. enjoy the car!

Just hope your not paying an average mechanic shop to do that work. Most of that stuff we have here used and would of saved you a ton of $$.

LOL.

But I really don't think he's beating on his car. He seems to be a low key and nice guy that once in a while does a burnout....but he's not killing his car!

He might be having a run of bad luck but it should be straightened out now.

^ one can only hope... lol


I didn't even know he broke it loose. (like the rest of us)

don i did the alt and ps pump at my parents house on the lift, so that wasnt to bad, if you can give me a price on stock struts and mounts for the front? im sure you have the press tool needed to install them. and pizza...there banging/clunking so loud its getting to the point where im getting frustrated driving it! i dont beat on it because i just like to enjoy it..yeah once in awhile i will hit the gas harder then usual but i just cruise it to work and back..get 19mpg city and roughly 25.5 on highway..loving it
