Please share your opinion; is it advisable to repair it or is it time to let go?
My 2005 Matrix with a 1.8L automatic gearbox has 280,000 miles; it does not consume oil and requires no additions between oil changes. However, the right front wheel has started to produce a clunking sound, and I suspect it may be related to the control arm or the wheel hub/bearing.
Rock Auto offers a Moog front end kit along with CV axles and additional components for $600.00. Excluding labour, what would your estimation be for labour?
What additional mileage would you project from a 1.8L engine given this mileage?
Is it beneficial to reconstruct the front end?
It has been an excellent compact vehicle.
I have been expecting the necessity for a new automobile; upon examining prices and perusing reviews, do you have any trustworthy recommendations for used or new vehicles?
