Looking at good quality replacement parts and non dealer labor ($150/hr), you can fix it for 6k. Sway bar links, shock absorber, control arm: $900 in parts (OEM struts, Mevotech Control Arms) + $150 alignment + 5-7 hours of labor.
Acura parts reviews
I have the cross climates on my wife’s Acura RDX. I’m very impressed with them in the snow and equally impressed this past summer on dry pavement.
Personally, I have the Michelin Pilot and can attest to how incredibly awesome they are. Stick to the road like glue and significant road noise reduction over the factory crap Acura puts on it's cars.
I am using MOOG for my lower control arms and they seem pretty good. they fit with zero problems.
I'm liking the Carbotech 1521 pads for their better heat tolerance and modulation over OEM pads, though I feel light initial bite is slightly less.
To make things easier, I put a K & N cabin filter in so I don’t have to replace it every year. I need to clean it as it’s due.
210k miles on my 03 RSX-s I use Penzoil 5w30 and Wix filters.
I've been using Penzoil ultra platinum full synthetic 0w-20, though it does burn sometimes a quart every oil change.
The steering rack was replaced about three years ago using a Cardone remanufactured unit from RockAuto. Unfortunately, I’m now realizing that it wasn’t a great choice—the rack is starting to make knocking noises, although it’s not leaking. Steering has become stiff and hard to turn.
I had them on my 07 Acura TL for about a year and had to replace them.
