Sooo, anybody else ever had to pay 42.95 for a wheel bearing for their CRX? I had no idea that they were this expensive when I went to make my final suspension purchaces this evening. I got two tie-rod ends, two shock mount kits including the upper bushing cup, and two wheel bearings... it was rediculous. Oh well, with my full poly bushing upgrade to go along with these other maintinence items I will have completed my suspension minus the upgraded torsion bars and GC coil overs I want. The rest of the suspension has already gotten the full treatment with poly upgrades everywhere possible, sway bars, tokico blues, etc... But $42 a piece? REALLY?!!!

Hey i tottaly love the iron man theme in that car, what is wire tucking, is it hiding the wires, How did you do it?

But $42 a piece? REALLY?!!!

yeah, really. I have searched many times in many prices and it doesn't get much better than that... rediculous? pretty much, fact of life? afraid so.

That's what I paid as well- then another $20 each for the machine shop to install (press fit)

[zakats]

really the rears? I didn't need it pressed when I did my rear driver bearing assy

Whoops- yeah, you are right, the rear bearings are easy to install. I thought he was talking about front wheel bearings.

[Old School REX]

Well I was talking about the front bearings. That is what I purchaced. Along with tie-rod ends and a shock mount kit to compliment my poly bushing upgrade. Pics coming soon!

lol, the said "iron man" theme is AAALLL JEMMotorSports idea; great comparison though. Besides, I painted my motor well before that movie came out!! lol Yes, a wire tuck is hiding the wires... it's simple, but complicated at the same time. You have to cut and extend wires that run up to your headlights, corners, etc... then you run them behind the subframe under the fender to conceal them before they come out right next to the spot they have to be revealed to plug into their ports.... Same thing with the engine harness wires.
