most likely scenario: $55 for new balljoints @ advance + free installation since they really did goof by installing broken shit
best scenario: the above PLUS honda takes the bad joints back, admits fault, and refunds my money... i'dactually net a few dollars on this one since advance balljoints are cheaper than OEM.
any hate on advance balljoints?
TRW is the OEM manufacturer for Honda so in all likelihood, you're getting the same ones. I used TRW's on the Prelude and they worked fine.
Two feet.
$60 for new balljoints at Advance + $40 labor (hurray for cutting me a HUGE deal) - nothing because removal of the balljoints will render them useless in a return claim to Honda.
Rolling Maeng an entire weekend? Priceless.
Other people suck.

It was only going to be slow if I was trying to get some money back on the original purchase. After realizing neither place is going to accept fault, I called it a complete loss and picked up new parts this AM and dropped the knuckles off as well.
Bleh.

Fairfax Auto Parts gets :thumbup:
No charge today AND they didn't mangle the bad pieces when taking them out so I think I'll have luck returning them to Honda. Hurrah!

Anybody ever gone skiing with a car? I have. silly me for assuming Skunk2 tightened the bolts on the camber kit. Camber shifting 100% in each direction when the wheel turns? Fun!
Car is all together, but something feels funny. Alignment isn't bad at all, but shizzle just doesn't feel right.

Tightened everything a 15th time. Stills feels funny... Maybe I'm just not used to a car that works correctly?

If it feels funny, then the alignment is off.

Something was off... I think one of the joints wasn't all the way settled in to it's new home. Spent the entire trip there with the wheel diagonal... went out a session, same thing, took andy for a ride, hear a pop, and suddenly the car is going straight with the wheel straight! The next morning i pull all of the cotter pins and tighten everything... there was definitely some settling taking place.

yikes....glad you ended up going straight after a noise like that and not the other way around!  hock:
what do you mean by settling....like a ball wasn't in the joint all the way or there wasn't something tightened down enough?

The hatch sounded like you stored live animals in the back of it. Every turn was like eekkk, crunch crunch crunch, bark, rooofff.

i think it was jayray that drove us home from vixens one night in navin's hatch a few years back. i dont know if it even had a muffler, the thing seemed to rattle at every joint, and it felt like the car was pieced together by someone using a torque wrenching that was set in in-lbs instead of ft-lbs.

At least they were using it to tighten nuts and not roll fenders :roll:
