Hello, I have a 2006 Honda Civic Si, that has a damaged right side rear arm.
I called the honda dealership and they gave a a price of $692.88 price and labor.
My question is, should i get it done at the Honda dealership, or should i buy the control arm off of ebay or something and have some independently owned shop replace it? Or is it a possibility that i could do the whole procedure myself, using just normal, store bought tools?

 

i believe you can replace it yourself. try going to a junk yard and finding one

 

location?

 

It isn't that hard to change, the only thing you will want to do is get it aligned after so don't do it and forget to align for a few days due to bad tire wear.

 

you can probably find a thread or page that will explain how to do the work

 

anybody know a website where i can get it the arm cheap? as well as the procedure to do it? i need to know what i need if i were to do it myself.

 

where are you located? i can get you one for cheap.

 

i live in the Monterey Peninsula. in California

Yoyo....I got a question for u guys I have this noise comming from my right side front wheel actually it sounds like its coming from under the dash its like a metal on metal noise when ever I hit a bump its driving me nuts.....my ? Is what symptoms did u have 2 kno what problem u had?

 

well i really lucked out because my brakes were starting to squeak excessively, and my car shook a lot at highway speed, so i got a 4 wheel alignment and a brake inspection. and upon inspection they found (among other things) my rear arm damaged.
but what kind of noise is it? is it like a clank, or a screeching?

 

awesome, let me kno soon, cause i'm gettin really uncomfortable driving the si around.
