Price for CV bucket replacement?
So I've been getting vibrations upon heavy acceleration and from what I've researched it seems the driver side CV bucket has worn out; my car is lowered.
I don't have have the tools and don't want to spend days trying to do this myself and would rather pay someone to do it. Is there a ball park price for the labor and cost of the CV bucket replacement so I can get a sense I'm not getting overcharged? Would I only replace the driver side? And does anyone know any reputable shops in the Charleston SC area that I can trust? thanks in advance. |
swap them left to right.. problem solved! And no you cant just buy new buckets on their own

Id expect to pay $200-$400 for cup swap. I do work on the side and charge $200 for cup swap + full reboot. I prefer to only use the OEM Honda boot kits. The boot kit is $25~ per boot from AFHKParts.com and includes everything required to complete the job. |

Great job spreading misinformation. You CAN buy them alone. After speaking with PuddyDaddy, he actually told me that there is the option to rebuild them by buying the buckets through Honda, but it is quite expensive. He rebuilds axles as well last time we spoke.
Honda part # 42320-S2A-310 (Inboard joint) https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuin...0-s2a-310.html But it seems swapping the buckets will be just as good of choice? I read some old s2ki forum post saying swapping is just a short temporary fix so I thought getting new ones would be better. |

Honda part # 42320-S2A-310 (Inboard joint) Swaping them will fix his issue (cheaply and effectively)thats realy the point of my post... where i am i cant realy buy them separately from honda so my bad. i accidentaly gave wrong advice on the internet. Glad you were around to save the day. |
Swapping them will fix the issue, but hey may wear out again.
But, won't axle spacers help to prevent this when your car is lowered? https://www.balladesports.com/produc...eshaft-spacers |

No, nothing "prevents" it from happening, the axle spacers only move where the bearings are riding against on the bucket so the spacers do similar to what swapping buckets does, they will still end up wearing out. Spacers will give you more time until you have to pony up the money for new buckets.
