Hi all,

 

I figure since I have a 2011 with nearly 150,000 miles on it I may be one of the early ones to hit high mileage repairs so I thought I'd fill everyone in.

 

Outside of basic maintenance it's been an expensive year...

 

Had to replace the steering rack, while at it I noticed three of the control arms were shot two them I've already replaced in the past.  (Thanks Michigan roads)About as soon as I get the alignment done following that passenger side hub went. While getting that off I noticed my CV boot has Nice tear i so replaced the passenger side CV axle.  I'm blessed enough to have access to a lift but on top of tires and brakes it's been an expensive start to 2019.

 

 

Things I have not addressed driver side heated seat lower coil has a short and this past winter rear defroster has line is no longer defrosting.(I'm mostly mechanical guy so I'm not sure how easy this fix is)? Help? oh and tore the end of last summer my AC started to be a little intermittent on me

 

Most parts I source through Amazon if it's not prime eligible, AutoAnything has the best shipping around and  price match and beat it by a dollar...  Seriously I paid $10 shipping to get The hub and bearing overnighted... Most guys wanted 30 for 2 days.. Timken bearing...I learned my younger days with bearings and hubs you get what you pay for so don't cheap out.

 

 

still not expensive as my $1,800 a month in child care LOL. This is why my fusion will have to last until 2022..?
