fellas,
and women.. (better not forget them or i'll be hearing from the union)


i need to do a rear wheel bearing
and my balljoints
+ engine mounts


question regarding the balljoints and wheel bearing.
is it worth me doing? its a bit of an effort doing mechanical stuff on my mini coz i dont have any tools, so i need to go to a mates and blah blah blah..
ive been quoted approx $400 for balljoints and about $200 for rear wheel bearing. they were quoted like 2 months ago so i dont remember the actual prices.

do they take much time?
parts cost??
is it for experienced people only?

help a fella in need

parts for both of those jobs will be no more than $100- $150 dependent on where you get them from. Labour is what is expensive.

if you havent done it before and if you think you would be guessing how to do a lot of it....take it to a pro.

Even though I do all my own work, I once got half way through a timing belt replacement job and thought f**k it.....so I put it back together and drove down to joe blow's workshop and said "here, you do it!"

In your case, for piece of mind, just take it to a pro and pay the bux.

Thats a bit rich for the Balljoints. Yer 200 for the Bearings I can understand

nah, I cant believe that price for the wheel bearings. I got Tapered bearings for the front for under a hundred bucks, the standard bearings for the rear shouldnt be that expensive even.
