Leave a reply with the work you've done by yourself on the E.
Here's my list:
- driver side power lock
- rear brakes
- rear struts
- rear sway bar links
- rear sway bar bushings
- front struts
- washer fluid pump (twice - those things are pretty frail)
- oil changes
- A/T fluid change
- diff fluid change
- air and cabin filters
The only things I've hired out so far are the front brakes (I still lived in an apt at the time) and I'm about to have a shop replace the lower control arm compliance bushings. I just don't have the tools required to press those suckers out of the arm and then get the new ones back in.
On a related note - has anyone else who lives in a big northern city, where the potholes are plentiful, noticed that their suspension is pretty much trash after 65k miles? And no, I don't drive like a jerk - I live in Chicago and the potholes have become unavoidable on some streets the last few years. I was just surprised that a Honda product needed so many new parts so quickly. I expected that they would have engineered an SUV to handle some rough roads.
