Crooked Mechanic. Wheel locked and seized up
Yo man what a night. SO yesterday I decide to fix my bushing problem. I took her to get the upper controol arm installed ( which doesn;t fit thanks to you guys telling me an accord one fits) . He installs the lower ball joints on both sides.
Drving around I notice that i hear like a metal to metal noise. I called him and told me it might be the brake shield.
So i left it thiking i would get to it later ride around for 2 more hours and the right wheel starts to grind on something and seize and doesn't want to move it I do it start to gring.
SO i left her in some alleyway she waiting to get picked up. I called the mechanic and he says its weird. Bastart doesn't even apologize about fuking up. I gotta send it to him on Monday that Bastard!!! ON a tow truck.
ANy ideas before dishing out cash for the tow? When i took out the wheel to inspect I saw that there was a nut that was missing on the lower arm.
Ima try take some pictures

Tell em' you're a friend of Alex's with the Blue CL and that I said hey if you do go lol.
Good luck man. if it metal scraping against metal, the same thing happened to me on my right front side. the hub was fucked up (Im pretty sure thats what it was) and when they tried to take it off the wheel bearings got fucked up too because of it.
They'll find whats wrong and fix it for sure...

Ayo so i looked and he didn't bolt on my caliper. It slide off the rotor and that what was grinding on the wheel. So im stuck until i can go to the junkyard to get the bolt.
What should I do abou the mechanic?A) Beat his ass B) Beat him Down C) Ruin his rep D) SMakc him in the face E ) ask for my money back
He is a mechanic that works for honda here in miami but after service hours he fixed it for me in the honda shop. Therefore no receipt but my word does count

One custom CL
Call me the master at this. Iv had to go thru hell with this issue. It all depending on the year/month of production of your vehicle. Honda/ Acura decided to use two diff suppliers for their upper control arms hence they have 2 diff sizes for the upper ball joint.

Wassup guys
So I was able to get some caliper bolts from the junkyard yesterday. Got her up and running. The upper control arm still needs to be fixed but the mechanic said it didn't fit.
I bought the arm on ebay. Here's the link Arm Control
Doesn't say 97, says 94-97. Let me know if this should of fit or not. SO i can return this and leave negative feedback.
