i wanna do a front end overhaul, i bid on some si lower arms, gonna get a 25 mm bar from icb motorsport, but i also want to look at a few other things. ima get the urethane bushings everywhere i can, and i also looked at ball joints.

ball joints--

should i replace upper and lower?? do they make an after market upgraded version?? are they gonna make a diff??

also someone said wheel bearings should be looked at and possibly replaced.

how much is all this gonna cost me to get installed at a shop, cuz ive seen the how to's and it looks intense...

 

bump??

 

At least $500 for labor

 

damn that sux... i hate paying for other people to have my fun LOL... maybe i should buy/rent the tools. reading up more on it now...

ne one with advice on what to replace, and waht to replace it with??

 

replacing most of the bearings and bushing will take a press or some very fine tuned hammering skills. i did my front LCA bushings with a hammer and stuff but a press would have been waaay easier and faster.

 

not worried about the difficulty of the bearings, i know theyll be tuff but nothing i cant handle.

what im worried about is pressing in the bearing and the ball joints.

 

i have never done that before... my dad works with presses all day and says its not a problem once you learn all the details of what your doing... it just takes some practice and know how.

 

I went to a shop down the road today and got a front end alignment and driver side wheel bearing installed/purchased and a lug stud and it ended up being $200 even. Plus the guy that was working on it likes hondas so he popped a dent out of my front quarter for free LCA ball joints are easy as hell. I did mine in like 5 minutes once spindles were off. Just make sure to put the c-clip retainers on there.
