Car has 170,000 miles and compliance bushings need changing. There are some other bushings on those lower arms that should just be changed because of the high mileage. I was thinking of just buying refurbished lower arms that only need to be swapped out with original ones.
There are inexpensive ones out there for sale but I wasnt sure if that was a good option. Majestic Honda online sells both lower arms new for around $350 for both sides. Labor will be free because we will do it ourselves. I have done this before. Local dealerships want minimum $500 to change compliance bushings only. Any thoughts or suggestions on buying cheaper brands that will do the job. We will probably keep this car for another 50,000 miles.
