at the shop they said that my left front has a bend knuckle and spindle. I knew something was up after I hit a curb. $220 for used parts alone! Anyone know where to look for parts?

 

www.oemacuraparts.com

give them a call, they are great.

 

Its actually not that hard to replace those parts. But those places are probably going to rape you on labor charges. I bet they probably estimate around 3 hours to do all of that.

So that translates into a bout 250 and up just for labor. Also, you are going to have to get an alignment after all is said and done.

P.S
How hard did you hit that curb?

 

hard enough to bend and crack the rim

 

so yeah, i just spoke to oemacuraparts and they said a knuckle is $290. I guess the spindle is something else, maybe they meant axle?

 

they are the cheapest place for new oem parts, for used parts just go to www.car-part.com, the spindle sits inside the knuckle, it is part of the driveshaft.

 

i think by spindle he may have meant hub.

 

Is there a DIY on how to replace the parts, I have a similar problem.

 

funny, I searched google for like 2 secs trying to dissuade you, because it's hard....but then I found this




always google first.
