I did the rear hub and bearing on my 96 but this time i dont have access to air tools and I think that 225 (for labor) is worth the all the siezed bolt hassle I just thought i'd rant 1995 SE Moonlight / Atlantis 1996 GL Sold Looking to buy Nun 1 for 95SE

Good thing my dad JUST bought a compressor and my brother has air tools! I'll probably do mine april 1st, borrow the compressor to do the bearing and then fill 100+ garbage bags to put in my friends apartment muhahaha Brian W. -------------------- Black 1998 SE 5 speed - TOTALLED

Makes me think $225 might be a little steep. Green 96 mystique gs 4cyl mtx 16.9 in the 1/4 mile @102500 miles 95SE in Midnight Red MTX MSDS headers and y-pipe SVT exhaust SVT UIM Optimized se TB.

I had a noise on the passenger side and i figured that they had put in a bad ball joint a while back. It turned out to be the end links. Has anyone done these on their own? If so how hard are they? 1995 SE Moonlight / Atlantis 1996 GL Sold Looking to buy Nun 1 for 95SE
