Changing Left Front Axis
I was doing my first tune up this morning...
Bought spark plugs and the wires... Actually I forgot to mention that in the other post: I paid $22 for the spark cables from the Dealer (blue ones made by NGK) :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: I dunno if that's a normal prices for you Mazda guys.. but last time I bought cables for my Zetec I paid almost $60 !!! Anyway.... I just discovered today that i do NOT have any CV boots left on my left axis !!! It is all dust and NO grease left... :( :( I'll be buying a rebuilt Left axis this week... My "technician" will charge me $150 installed... Is that a good price ??? OOps.... I also discovered that I need a O-ring on my distributor... it is leaking oil... Ohh well..... |

Likewise, $150 is a good price for replacing a half-shaft, since the rebuilt half-shaft is about $60 on its own. He might have to charge you extra because pulling the left side will drain the tranny. The distributor O-ring leaking is pretty normal. I'm doing my 3rd timing belt next week, and I will replace the O-ring (and the valve-cover gasket, pulg wires, etc) at the same time. And. it's axle, or half-shaft, not axis. Axis is who we fought in WWII.:) |
