Everything there but the axles is a safe buy.

Aftermarket axles are commonly stated as having around a 2 year lifespan, and Honda axles are the most recommended.

If you're going to grease everything at every oil change, make sure they're gushers, though I think Moog does use gushers.

Most recommend that if you're replacing the entire strut assembly, you transfer the original bearing assembly and just clean it out, regrease and re-use it as it is more reliable/robust than the KYB bearing.

If you're replacing axle seals, get Honda brand.

 

I have never replaced cv axle, front wheel bearing for this car yet. (2009 minivan with 178k mileage)

should i just replace control arms, tie rods, quick struts only?

could you be more specific about clean/re-greasing original bearing assembly while replacing strut assembly? You mean like putting something like antiseize inside of wheel hub?

 

Wow
The prices have gone up a lot.
Oh my.

7 years ago ~ , those were dealer prices on oem.

I will apply now for a second job, so I can change my valve cover gaskets.

This is nuts.

Rock on

Yeah.. unfortunately OEM probably cost way more than these.

But at least Valve cover gaskets are relatively cheap parts and can be purchased as OEM without issues.

not a bad idea for replacing spark plug, adjusting valve, ps fluid, cleaning throttle body/maf sensor, engine air filter, drive belt and pcv valve while you at it.

don’t forget about getting Honda-bond for your valve cover as well! And make sure to “lightly” tap your spark plug tubing seals to avoid damaging it.

 

I got pretty much all above, including axles, all was good for 8 months I believe, its making a clunking noise again... not sure what causing it, but it sounds and feels just like failed 17 years old 160k miles OEM parts... need to go do inspection again
