So, I bought my integra for 1000 last week.
I bought it to the mechanic today and found out all these problems:

1. I need a wheel hub, the bushing is extremely bad.
2. My left caliper rattles (slides are bad)
3. Right Front Stabilizer bar is bent
4. All the motor mounts are bad
5. Driver axle needs to be replaced
6. Rear Stabilizer bar frame bushing(control arm to strut)

Are these worth fixing?
Where could I find parts cheap?
If I can get the parts cheaper, then I'll only be taking a hit on the 88$/hr labor.

I'm 18, live on my own and don't have alot of money if that helps.

well there aren't any bushing in the wheel hub, i'm assuming you meant bearings.
try to get a replacement hub from a salvage yard, downside is you will need an alignment after that. take the caliper off and try to get the slide pins out, clean them up and lube them. get a axle from a salvage yard, aftermarket ones are junk anyways. those would be the main things to do first.

yeah i got a wheel hub from a store, it costed me 85$. what about oem motor mounts?

honda250r&crx

motor mounts are a must to get but you could, since you dont have a lot of money fix your own. you can get 2 part epoxy or 3m window sealer and completely fill the old motor mounts up with it. downside is that your car will be down because you have to let either dry or bake in the oven for awhile. also oem motor mounts would be fine just more expensive. You could also look at the junkyard for used motor mounts just see how much they move and if they have a lot of cracks in the rubber( more movement).

Where do you live and what is your chassis code of your Integra? Be more specific and I will guide you in the right direction.

1. I need a wheel hub, the bushing is extremely bad.
assuming you mean bearing, these are about 40-50 bucks

2. My left caliper rattles (slides are bad)
a slide kit is pretty cheap, probably about 10 bucks last time i did mine

3. Right Front Stabilizer bar is bent
there is no "right front stabilizer bar"

4. All the motor mounts are bad
all the motor mounts are bad? somehow i doubt this, but your looking at about 20-40 dollars a mount

5. Driver axle needs to be replaced
not that expensive, bout 100-150 bucks a set

6. Rear Stabilizer bar frame bushing(control arm to strut)
7 bucks give or take a few


i get most of my parts at rockauto.com , great prices and fast shipping

yeah I meant bushing, but they don't sell just the bushing, I had to buy the whole hub assembly.

The caliper rattles, until I hit the brakes. They said its not necessary, and could be repaired.

All the motor mounts are bad, the car has been run into the dirt they said.

not sure about the stabilizer but they told me "R.F. Stabilizer bar end bent" or something, dudes handwriting is hard to read

i think he meant the front stabilizer bar is bent on the right side.
how many motor mounts are there?

Spawne32

3 upper mounts, 2 lower torque mounts

I believe I might have some parts that you might need laying around from my last car. Im 99% sure that I have 3 OEM motor mounts that were removed at around 40k.
Im pretty sure I have some other stuff like rear LCA bushings and stabilizer bars.
As for the front bearing, I know I dont have that.

If you are interested, I can look for you and give you a good price on everything that you need.

OEM motor mounts are quite expensive, so there might be other options such as Energy Suspension.

If I find them, you can take all 3 for $50

Yeah please let me know if you have anything JdmTypeRdc2.
So I would need a total of 5 mounts if I got them?
RockAuto has good prices, but I couldn't find anything on axles.

dont get axles from autozone. I get my axles from oriellys. They have a lifetime warranty so does autozone but i went thru 5 autozone axles before i said f it and got one from oriellys. Since then i have got 3 axles from Oriellies for different hondas and not one issue yet. Also i have replaced the slides, guides what ever the hell they are called before you can get them from napa for a few bucks. Most of this stuff you can do with basic tools. You would need a 32mm socket for the axle. might as well check the tranny seal where the axle goes to see if it is leaking at all and replace that if it is the seal is only a few bucks. So most of the items you can fix on your own without paying all the labor fees.

jdm, did you find those mounts?

All 5 OEM engine mounts will run you in the range of $425 + shipping, brand new.

I've already replaced my front torque and rear engine mounts with new OEM because all of mine were torn. Tried ES poly inserts and the damn vibration was unbearable, so I went back with new OEM.

I *think* my 2 side mounts are still okay. The driver side mount is the most expensive at $161, so I'm hoping that one will stay okay for some more years.

Where I Live axles at local auto part stores are all pretty much $65, including the driver side axle I replaced on my '95 Integra. And you won't be able to check the trans seal on the driver side because the axle goes into an intermediate shaft before the trans.

When you're going to rely on a mechanic to tell you what's wrong with a car, and then to fix it, you're probably better off not buying a car that needs work. If you're willing to learn to diagnose and fix a car on your own then it's a good learning experience.

Personally I'd spend the money that you'd be giving to your mechanic on some basic tools and a Helms manual for your car. Take some time to read up on the part(s) you're going to change and read how to change them in the manual. Then tackle one at a time.

i probably would, but i dont have a garage or alot of money. I don't want to work on the car in 10* weather not really knowing what i'm doing.

for the 5 mounts, there are: front, left, rear? do you specifically get ones or are they all universal?

You would need the 1st four listed in that link, plus the transmission mount.

nospoolDC2

ls is your trim level. the chassis code of your car would be a DC4. just a quick fact for ya

gofastgokart99

worth fixing if it is your only car and if its relatively low miles considering its a honda.

Junkyards/salvage yards are your best bet. After that look on HT market place.

jdm98typerteg

window weld dose work great for the mounts bc it is 100% urathane i did it to my teg and its like solid mounts now

CRX_RR
