Oh that sucks man. Hopefully it won't be too much

 

[TigBitties]

why new wheel studs?

Not too bad, $50 for installation of wheel bearing, the rest is just parts cost.

why new wheel studs?

Not all of them, just one.

 

[GACivic]

So I ended up paying $265 for 2 tires wheel bearing and installation of everything

While car was at alignment place they said I need new inner and outer tie rods on my passenger side (side with bad bearing) fml! There goes another $200

Tie rods should not cost you 200. You're getting ripped off. And it would be a good idea to replace both sides at once

$200 includes price of alignment and doing bolt/washer trick to fix camber in rear

 

[GACivic]

How much should all that cost?

 

[CHILD]

Nevermind since you said its for everything, that's about right.

 

[GACivic]

Oh okay, thanks

Finally got my wheel bearing, 2 new tie rods on passenger side, bolt/washer trick, alignment done. Now it's back to saving for motor swap

 

[GACivic]

Motor swap will be done in June. B18c1

After (or possibly) before that is to fix my suspension. I have cheap eBay coil overs on the car (previous owner) and they are absolutely horrible. They ride like crap. I was thinking about just taking them off and putting some springs on them, but I still want the car pretty low. What are my options?

 

[TigBitties]

full coilover system like skunk2 pro s, F&f type 1, those types. or something like a koni/ ground control setup

 

[GACivic]

It'll probably be a while before I can do the suspension unfortunately. Probably within 2-3 months. But what is a reasonable price for a low mileage b18c1 swap, labor and everything.

The anticipation of FINALLY swapping this motor is killing me.
