Default stupid front end

well i torn into my neglected front end today to change the original rotors, i finally got the passenger side out and realized my u joint was broke, the wheel bearing has some play and the ball joints r bad... i still havent even torn into the other side yet either. soooo im gettin 4 ball joints, 2 u joints at least 1 wheel bearing and i need the end of the axle on the driver side. this is gonna be expensive btw what a pain in the a$$ to get the axle out

yes it is they are a pain in the ***. your looking at $200ea for wheel bearings, $25ea u-joint, depending were you go for roters there about $150ea, ball joints i spent $90 on uppers and $80 on lowers, and the shaft will run ya about $250 new

you musta got cheap u-joints, i paid 60 bucks for mine.....these front ends suck to work on but once you do it you figure out the tricks to make it go easy. I think paid around 600 bucks per side for everything. but now it works great......make sure your carefull when you put your axle shaft back in. I musta ripped it, cause i put everything back togeather and now have a nice leak..

the $120 wheel bearings must not be the same , mine had the ABS sensor built in to it and was very pricey
