If you are DIY, you can also take the approach that every 8-10 years the entire front suspension needs an overhaul, and replace everything at once. The savings in labor costs for DIY on this stuff is pretty significant.

So they charged you $100 for nothing ?
Shops here aren't that brave, probably because no one would pay them for such robbery.

Yea, you can imagine how happy I was... Although they offered to credit that for the next repair related to front suspension.

I still can't believe my rotors were causing that knock/thump under breaking. It's been a while now and no knocking or anything still. Keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck guys. Wish I could help out more
