ok topic pretty much says it all.

the clicking is just getting on my nerves and im wanting to replace them.

were is the best place to get them cheapest but reliable.

and is there a D.I.Y cause shops that i have checked is charging 160$ for Left and Right side each plus a 85$ Labor Fee.

and when buying the CV joints will i need to by 2 different sets one for left and right? or can i by a set? or are they identical and can go on either side in that case i just get 2.

 

Left and right side are usually different, I would only fix the broken one and inspect the other one.

 

Is that $160 with or without core? If its the before core price then it sounds just about right, otherwise i'd say its high. You don't replace the joint per say but the entire axle. Right and left axles are different, order accordingly. Heres the D.I.Y ---> https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/faq-axle-replacement-tutorial-pics-382416/

 

nope while i replace 1 im just ganna go ahead and do them both while im at it.


its 160 per axel and 70$ per axel just to put it on my car. so around 520$ total for it all. which i think is rediculous.

 

you can buy both axles at a parts store with lifetime warranty for little over 100 buxs. if i were to have someone do work for me i always supply my own parts so i dont get ripped off. Ive seen what Midas charged my friend on parts i said wow you paid that much for that.

And i would go ahead and do both dont mess around and do one go ahead and change the other one becuase it will go eventually anyway alittle extra peice of mind and less down time later also id see about replaceing the axles seals while your there too they are also cheap

 

what do axle seals do? sorry im extremely new to all this is why im learning

 

they keep the fluid from leaking out of your transaxle (transmission) basically

you can get both sides for about 20 or so

 

id say just get them both replaced just to have one less thing to worry about

i replaced both mine and paid 150, minus labor cuz i have my own mechanic, but yeah just go and get both done

 

If you do enough searching and reading on this site you can figure out how to change the axle's yourself including the seals.

Just don't be in a big hurry and make sure you have the correct tools.

I am new to all this and i did the axles and seals in a couple of hours. Seals are a pain, but if you take your time you can do it.

Tools Needed. 32mm socket, LOOOOOOONG pipe, breaker bar, little muscle, pry bar, jack stands, jack.

Buy some regular d-series axles on here from someone close to you for like 50 bucks and do the job yourself for less then what you would pay for one axle.

 

well dave do you know someone who has a left and right cv axle for a 95 honda civic dx?

 

I actually used to. Go onto the marketplace and find someone. There is bound to be someone selling both axles.
