Fix my Honda Civic Lx 1993, How much would it cost?

hi, i have a blue honda civic and i have been having problems with my car. how much would it cost to fix these issues?



New Brakes and Rotors for front and back axles



New CV joint (when i turn either way my wheels click)



Air conditioner ( when i turn it on my car vibrates loudly, cold air does come out though)



How much is this gonna cost me? i think i can do some of the work myself, i was in Auto's class for 2 years and they taught us how to change brakes.



How much should i expect to pay? Is it worth to keep the car? or should i sell it and try to get a new model or something?Fix my Honda Civic Lx 1993, How much would it cost?
Brakes (front and back ) doing them yourself would be wise if you know how, most shops charge over $50/hr. parts are usually around $150.00 ($75 for front with rotors, and 75 for rear with drums but check with your autoparts stores for exact prices)



CV axles usually run aprox. $100.00 per side and labor varies on where you take it (note: there is some specialty tools you will need to seperate the CV from the car) this I would recomend having a shop complete even with labor costs the purchace of the tools (unless you rent them) and the time for a intermediate mechanic may just not be worth doing it yourself .



AC Have it checked but unless something is broken or leaking I would leave it alone (because it is working) usually what causes vibration is the clutch on the front of the pump or a loose belt. but you would also notice a squeel if that is the case.Fix my Honda Civic Lx 1993, How much would it cost?
New Brakes (50 x 2) and Rotors (20 x 4)

New CV inner and outer boots(25 x 4)



It should cost about $280 if you decide to fix it yourself. Parts can be bought from your local auto parts store. With your auto experience you should have no problem replacing the brakes and rotors. The CV joint will be messy but shouldn't be that difficult either.



I would open and inspect the air conditioner and use a vacuum or brush to clean out any dirt and debri that maybe preventing the fan to spin evenly. Hopefully, that stops or reduces your vibration.



At just $280 to fix it yourself, it's a bargain to keep your 93 honda civic. If you decide to get it repaired at a shop, you could end up paying more than $1000.

Youll have better luck selling the car and use the money for a downpayment on something that wont cost broke money.Fix my Honda Civic Lx 1993, How much would it cost?
Brake and CV joint if you do it your self $250-$300.

Buy a auto repair book before you start and if you kinda know what your doing you will be fine just take your time.

better to ride the bus one day then to Fu** it up worse
