CV Joints Sticker Shock!

Glad to be a part of this great site!

Recently, the CV joints went out on my 2009 Fit Sport. No big deal I thought until I called the dealer and nearly keeled over when he quoted me a price of $694.00 plus taxes!. At first I thought he joking but eventually realized he was telling it like it was. To be honest, I think even he was surprised. Called a few national chain parts stores to find less expensive alternative but came up empty.

My question is this....Where can I find reasonably-priced (and available) CV Joints for my Fit? It's been a really reliable ride for the first 90K miles but I'm already starting to hear horror stories about the cost for replacement parts.

Try the online version of the Parts Department for your local dealership. Or try www.collegehillshonda.com as they always seem to have good prices and a very knowledgable staff. Or try contacting one of the supporting vendors of this site.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Believe it or not, I've tried them all. Thought I found it on Rock Auto and called to verify and they said no. Might have something going with my local Napa who's getting it from someplace four states away. Don't really care though...I'll make the parts myself before I pony up 700 bones to Honda for parts that are not worth more than $100.
