I swapped Skunk2 upper control arms/ball joints into my 97 EK Civic without any problems and it was an Ohio car it's whole life. And that was before I owned an impact wrench. I'm sure you can handle it, beefcake.
I won't be doing it. Car is in Akron and I won't have the time to do it sadly. I just want to know how much it would be for him to get it done at a garage. He needs his car ASAP.
And Evan, stop hitting on me already.
also helps when you don't plan on seeing 70 y/o, I know you meant this as a joke but if I would have said it, concerning me, I would have been serious![]()
Shouldn't be too much I would imagine, but every shop is different. And that's IF they can get him in ASAP. I called a few small shops when I needed to get the P5 running again, and none of them could get me in for a few days.
Where at in Akron? Does he/do you know what the problem is yet? Or is this all just forum speculation from looking at a sideways shot of a car with the wheel still on?
ps- Josh, update your cars, yO! Mazda6 wagon
So, he's got a shop lined up to fix it already? If they're saying they know what the problem is, stands to reason they would've given him an estimate at the same time, no?
I get so confused with your posts. LOL
I would say I'll swap ball joints for your friend since Stow is just up the street from me. But ball joints, in the cold, without air tools = no fun. Plus your friend will need an alignment afterwards anyway. The shop should only charge 1 hour for a ball joint swap on an EK Civic.
Sorry for the flirtatious posts, Nick. It's the beard.
pss- Peaches, isn't that Doc? And what is that broad doing in the back? Where the hell were you guys?
He messed up his car last night. He went to drive it this morning and the thing broke. His friend emailed some pictures to the local repair shop today since they were closed. The shop responded this afternoon. I'm not sure if he got a quote or not.
Mmmhmm......
Evan's old bones don't handle the cold very well... but it doesn't bother me.
I can't miss Matlock.
I figured you would watch more Murder She Wrote![]()
