Morning Guys,

So I am about 1500 miles away from hitting the 300k maker on my 03 4cyl.
I already have a general list of thing I will be doing on maintenance.
 Also am getting a slight wobble so my axles are going bad and the same goes for the rotors. So I will be replacing both those items.
So just looking to see if I am missing anything? Thanks for the input.
The list of things I’ll be doing.
•   Engine flush – and oil change  
•   Tranny flush  - since I am replacing the axles
•   Radiator flush  - using Honda Blue
•   Replace power steering fluid – not sure how to do that yet but I will figure it out.
•   Axles will be replace
•   Replacing busted upper ball joints
•   Installing new rotors with new pads, Duh.
•   Dumping out all the old brake fluid and new fluid while I bleed the brakes
•   Replacing spark plugs
•   Valve adjustment
•   Replacing head gasket since I am staring to see some oil stains in the back
•   Replacing a new serpentine belt – did I spell that correctly?
•   Washing Air filter – I got a stock size K&N filter
•   Once the car is running I will bed-in the new brakes.

I believe the battery is already dead..   Current MPG is 27   

Which way below hybrid 37 expectancy..    I guess I need to start looking for battery replacement.

Is there shops that you could take to get it done or does it need to be by Honda?

Morning Everyone,

So my dad just bought my little sister an 05 Honda Accord Hybrid.

My concern is the hybrid system and battery.   

Also, with maintenance on a hybrid is there a different way to do things or all the same.?
 

I would love to get OEM axles, but they are to darn expensive... I am looking at 600 bucks compared to 160, and i believe Honda axles don't come with warranty.

I am going to Americas Tire to have them look at the tires being balanced, but I am just pulling the trigger and I will replace them this weekend if the tires are verified ok.

I will also replace  my front rotors and pads and also my upper ball joints.

A nice way to spend around $400 bucks
 
Quick question,  I am buying the axles from Oreillys - Should I buy new ones for 160 the set or remanufactured for 120 the set.   Both come with lifetime warranty's

Hi Guys, need some insight on my current issue recently I have been noticing car is wobbling when accelerating and  I hit  20 mph then fades away right after when going faster.

I did some research, and people are saying its my CV axles.  I just would like a confirmation before i got out buy anything.

Things about my car,  I recently got new Pirelli P7 tires.  So Tires should not be the issue.

My brake rotors are due to be replaced, every time I brake car shakes.  Could this be the issue for the wobble when accelerating.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank You Mike for this write up, very useful and saved me on a very annoying and loud bad bearing.

got a new windshield..

Or go to a place where they do aftermarket parts and comes out 169 with install?

So I was planning to clear the code when getting home, but just before arriving home from my 30 min commute the light went away.

Now its going back to its old habbits, it goes on an off when it chooses.

I will clear it tonight.  But can you list the thing that i could do solve it.

I have already removed the CAT and left it over night in a bucket of soapy water TWICE.... and P0420 keeps coming back.
