What want u do?

Aight, heres my situation.

Seems as though my left cv joint is making noises.
right control arm needs replacing.
shocks r gone to ****s.

What shud i do first?
can sum1 else me with the parts I'll need? cuz I know camber kit will replace ball joints, what abt cv joint.
Whats the ball park figure to get those two things fixed?

and what type of shocks shud I get. Thinking full coilovers, but shud i save the money n just buy tokico blues and use my current coilover sleeves?

You can get CV Shafts from teknotic they back their product too if it breaks (under normal use) i would repair in this order

Balljoints
Controll Arm
CV Shaft

untill you get that NASTY *** clicking then you know its about to snap.. run on it untill it gets a bit worse you can get buy if your tight on cash.

if possible, try to do them at once...
but i agree with that order

balljoints
control arm
cv shaft

balljoints failure are the worst thing you can have =(

always try to leave some backup cash in your bank next time...

rebuilt cv's are crap. Buy genuine Honda. They'll last longer IMO.

jsut get cheapo rebuilt ones...do not get honda one's for the love of god you will get bent over hard for the same ****

you drive a civic and you car probobly won't last another 150,000 km's

do it yourself just bring the knucle spindle in and have a joint pressed in then throw a new shaft on when you install it back

Its usually the Driverside that goes its more common. Honestly my buddy got some from teknotik and it broke like a week later under regular use. They took a look at it and replaced it... id recommend you go there from my expereinces thats all. Im not sure about crappytire iv never dealt with them for cv shafts

no hes telling you to go to teknotik because they back their **** up. He's just explaining how his buddy snapped his cv, and they replaced it right away w/o question.
