I just had my oil and filter changed today and had a brief inspection.

I need new tyres and apparently my CV boot is split open and there might be damage to the CV Joint on both sides of the front wheels.

:( Lots of money for repairs.

I have looked at a few places and I found tyres for $175 ea Achillies brand at F1 Tyre Warehouse.
$35 for alignment, balance and check

And for the CV boot/joint repair;

Ultra Tune: $380 per side
Pedders: $180 each side + $132 fitting

Those tyres are expensive. What size are you running?

If you just want cheap tyres, for stock rims, hit up Taleb.

I'd make a few more calls on the suspension side of things, get as many quotes as possible. Haven't been there myself but have heard good things about Mermaid Suspension, give them a call and see what they reckon?

the driveshaft BOOTS are gone , just replace them first ( around $50 a side incl. part and labour ) . Are you getting any noise / clicking while hard lock turning etc ?

Hey, yeah when turning hard and sometimes going over bumps I hear a rattle
