    note to self: things to fix

    both upper arms and bushings
    both lower ball joints
    link kits
    left rear upper arm
    rear bushings
    need new tires
    need alignment
    front and rear struts

    driver side axle just replaced yesterday

    you guys may think im stupid for doing this but my left cv started clicking bad about 10 months ago, replaced the boot and repacked it to all hell to prevent it from getting worse and i survived until i got it replaced yesterday
    yay me
    now to fix everything else
    engine runs great, interior is almost mint, suspension is wned:

    79 posts in 2 years, i didnt think it was possible for me to be a post hog
    actually i paid honda dealer 85 bucks labor(canadian) to do it yesterday
    my god did that tighten up everything, no more clicking, no more shaking at 80
    i was gonna do it myself on the weekend but i lost torque wrench and breaker bar and some other tools in parents garage, found them now though. so everything else can be fixed without paying labor

    i suppose i could ask a question
    what are good tires to get for my stock rims

    I like toyo all seasons for stock rimz or some sorta snow tire if you live in that kinda climate and plan on only using them in the winter.

    I'm pretty happy with the Yokohama Avid T4s on my Prelude. You may want to look at getting some cheap 14s before you get new tires. The 1 inch makes a big difference.
