1995 Honda Accord front bearing problem?

Just had the wife's Honda worked on by a local chain auto repair center. They replaced both front CV joints, boots, etc. We had no front bearing noise before the repair, but now the front bearings are so noisy you almost can't hear the radio. No pulling or other steering problems, just noisy. They now want another $550 to replace them, after a $525 repair bill for the CV joints. Is this normal, am I getting ripped off, or could the front bearings have possibly been damaged during the CV joint repair? Any ideas? Thanks for any and all comments.

    anything is possible. you do need to find another service provider though. the cost of replacing both axles should have been around $400. the cost of replacement of a front bearing should be around $200 per side. find yourself a good independent shop that you can trust. the large chains are not all they are cracked up to be.

    Zen Buddhists sometimes say that first there is the resurrection, then comes death. It is a way of reminding one to look deeply, without expectations, at the very notion of life and death itself. Zen Buddhists are not too fond of being categorized as a religion and yet they (and I) have some insights borne from direct Knowing-As-Being which religious folks say comprise religious thought. Yet for the Buddhist, it is not a thought. It can be understood directly that the notions of life and death are as masks that consciousness wears and then consciousness draws itself into the drama, as if in a play or a dream. Until mind/consciousness somehow mysteriously, but conclusively, becomes aware of this charade, it will die, with the mask on, just exactly as it has lived. Whatever came with this mask - reincarnation, emptiness, nothingness, God - is what consciousness brings along to it's own notion of how it ends. To become awake as the Buddha awakened is the resurrection that comes before any death....but the best part is that with this ressurection comes the undestanding that there is neither birth nor death for that which is actually alive present and aware at all times. In my understanding which is not really a religion, I cannot answer your question directly because I don't recognise that there was birth or that there will be death. What happens to the physical body is obvious but that is not what I am. Nor am I that consciousness wearing a death mask. I'd be so foolish to speculate beyond this and besides, it makes no difference in what I am, have been and will always be. Good question though!

    Okay, you NEED bearings. DO NOT!! I REPEAT, DO NOT drive your car without replacing them!!!!!!!!!!!

    They could give way and you or wife could be involved in a car accident... if they don't implode catistrophically, they can ruin the area where the bearings sit.

    This will result in alot more than 500 dollars worth of work needed...

    Yes, the shop could have messed them up, but I can't prove that..
