bearings sohuld be about $60, even from honda. you can get em a bit cheaper from bearing wholesalers once you know the bearing number.

i dunno what the "machine" price is. it could cost you $30 to just get the bearing pressed out and in.

 

i get the # from honda, whats a good dealer?

 

OEM Honda & Acura Online Parts Dealers (and Part Numbers)
*Majestic (RI)
*San Leandro (CA)
*HondaPartsDeals (NH?)
*Delray Acura (FL)

 

at least around here all the shops i have been to, charge a minimum of an hour, even if something takes 10 minutes.

also most shops will charge you a certain % if you don't buy the part from them. Some times it's cheaper some times it's not.


FYI if one is bad id replace both of them

 

i have money to fix it , im soo broke!!! when will i know its GOTTEN real bad??

 

when your mechanic tells you to replace it.

 

he said it not that bad YET

 

trust them get it taken care of, I waited till the last minute and almost had to drive halfway accross the country like that but it would have broken down on the way

 

i plan to as sooon as i get a job

 

wheel bearings can go out pretty quickly, and isn't something i would want to drive around with a bad one.

 

bump

ROFL


lol do this. Jack your car up in the air on the side of the bad wheel bearing. With the other side on the ground and secure, move the wheel left and right with your hands. If the wheel moves and the knucke does not move, you have a bad bearing. While your wheel probably won't fall off, the grease will leak out of the bearing and you risk welding it to the knuckle/hub from the heat. Then your really fuct.

 

ron white said it best, "you can't fix stupid"

I guess laughing at this guy came back to haunt me. I get home to put the wheels back onto my track civic, and my driver wheel bearing has taken a ****.

Both being replaced. On top of that, my ES upper bushings are also failing.
