Easy there, tiger. You guys know the drill by now - you gotta give me a couple of business days to reply before you start freaking out. I always have a metric crapton of stuff to do, particularly following a weekend, and I get to it all as fast I can. If you're in a hurry, call me instead of posting on the forum.

48609-17030 - $78.07 - Support sub-assy, front suspension (x2 = $156.14)
90303-22049 - $3.52 - Dust seal, front suspension support (X2 = $7.04)

Don't break them on purpose by any means. We do stock them, which indicates that they sell with some regularity. They may go out on you just due to age even if you're easy on them.

lol, I know, it's still <3.



and I REALLY don't think I want them to be bad, they have a bearing in them for the front, no?

[te51levin]

Correct, the front mounts (only) have bearings. If they are intact, but just a little sticky, you can try to free them up and repack them with grease.

and if the bearings are shot? can I just get the bearings?

[te51levin]

Unfortunately not. They are bonded into the rubber.

super gay, how prone are they to failure?

Not very prone to outright failure, but susceptible to wear, like any chassis component that is 15-20 years old or more. Have you inspected yours yet? If you do need them, then it costs some money, but the age justifies the expense. If you don't need them yet, then, uh, try not to worry too much about it...

[Maruki-kun]

double post much? lol, also, how much are the four main crossmember bolts? and any other bolts you think might snap off when taking the crossmember down to replace a sway bar? one of my bolt's heads broke off and I don't want it to happen again and have my crossmember held on by 2 bolts.

so if I replace my struts, how easy are those support assemblies to break if I'm not careful when replacing the struts? I'm okay with them being worn when I put it back together, but if they brake easy, I'm going to hold off on installing the struts until I can afford to replace the supports.

Our internet access was temporarily interrupted, and can do some funny things.

$6.41 each for the front two and $4.60 each for the rear two.

If you live in the rust belt, anything can be prone to breakage. Soak everything in some good penetrating oil for a few weeks before you attempt disassembly.

Well, erm, I suggest you be careful just on principle. These are not prone to breakage during installation unless you are a real gorilla. They're not delicate components, but if you really manhandle them, you can break them, just like anything else.
