i called all the auto wreckers canada wide and found only the left suspension for 350 all the way out in quebec. so i ordered the both sides and the tie rods all for 334.20 here at the local acura dealership. I will have them installed next week from my friend that works there with a healthy discount, so fingers crossed all for 500

hi there to the people that have been helping me with this problem i got myself into and thanks for everything so far...a lot of help seriously. i like doing things myself and my buddy the acura mechanic has a great deal for me. $50 dollars for his labour of the bearings or something like that all i have to do is take the knuckles off of the car and get it to him and he will put my old bearings into the new knuckles for 07-08 tl-s and then i have to re-install it and its done. however im not that car smart but i own the accord book to do all the work myself. is it worth it or should i just take the car in and pay the premium for this upgrade at acura??? oh and he wants it in 2 days if im doing it myself

If you think it's something you can do on your own with the help of the book you should go for it to save yourself some money. However, if you aren't confident in your ability to get this done by yourself you should definitely take it in to get it done by a professional. You don't want to accidentally mess up anything in the suspension/brake area, it's an expensive place for mistakes

well your right on expensive if you mess up, i stripped a link to the stabilty bar $106 discount at honda, i f-ed a abs sensor $$$?, but all in all its not that hard. i looked on line how things are done without the right tools and it was all pretty easy. hardest part was willing to take the chance and do it. tomorrow my friend is pressing the old bearings into the new knuckle and i just have to re install knuckles. pics tomorrow if all goes well. i ordered the tl-s tie rods cus they were to small from the tsx, but im hoping the accords are the exact same as the tl-s. fingers crossed...also 1-10 the job is probably a 4 if your nervous
