yes the flexable brake lines, they get rusty and restricted,
smal? I would have ball joints and tie rod ends inspected
ok thanks man
Quick question. Can someone explain to me what the deal is with the rotors on the 89 lxi. ive been talking to a few people about doing the job and they say that it is some special thing on the rotors which need to be taken off to install new ones? Any help would be appreciated.
Just the tire.......
No actually there is nothing special to our type brake rotors. They just go over the lugs and are not pressed on. There are 2 small phillips head screws that can be a problem. If the shop you are using can't get around this problem then I would find another shop quickly.

Some other generations of Accords (like the 1G & 4G) feature the abysmal "hub over rotor" design. Changing rotors requires that you disassemble the entire front end and hydraulically press out the old rotor.
Thankfully, the 3G is not so afflicted.
