    help me out pls

    Hey guys, i bought an 87 accord hatchback a month or so ago for like 900$ to use as a winter car. Anyways i went to get it inspected, and ive got a problem. I need a wheel hub assembly on the front, and a tie rod as well. And the wheel hub assembly is pretty damn expensive!!! Does anybody have a parts car or know somebody who could help me out? I dont wanna spend a crap load more money on a car that is going to be non existant due to rust by the end of the winter... heheh. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, theres so damn many i didnt know which to put it in.

    Go to your local salvage yard. They can hook you up for mad cheap.

    go to the salvage yard and get it.
    wheel hub assembly = the steering knuckle, that whole piece that connects by the upper and lower balljoits. Sounds to me that that car was in an accident

    You would be better of at the local pick and pull. That piece would be kinda heavy to ship.

    Knuckles are pretty cheap, as far as I've seen. The last set I picked up was like 35 bucks a side

    if you try and seperate the hub from the bearing, you will rip her apart.. just go buy the WHOLE steerin knuckle
