Topic: Replacing seized components required to access safety components
If in order to fix/replace a safety component, it requires destructive removal of a non-safety component, would the replacement of that non-safety component count towards the $500 if it was replaced with the same (not-upgraded) part?
We have a '96 Impreza with a bad rear wheel bearing. But in order to get the wheel bearing out, we have to remove the rear hub and get it into a press. The problem is that the Big Ass Bolt™ holding on the lateral links is practically welded to the hub. We'll at minimum need to replace the bushing, and potentially have to replace the whole control arm/lateral link. If we show up with a shiny new Moog control arm, will we need to budget for that in our build? How about if we just replace the bushing?
