I have a few jobs that need to be done on my 2003 Aero (roughly 140-150k miles) and I'm thinking of having them all done at once by an indie, not to mention the car just needs to be checked over in general.
-Replace driver's side axle - inner boot has been ripped since I got the car 1.5 years ago and the surrounding suspension parts are covered in grease.
-Replace subframe bushings - I hear/feel vibrations underneath the floor that seem to be a tell-tale sign of bad bushings.
-Drop the oil pan - since I've been meaning to do it for almost a year now and haven't.
-With the axle out, I'm assuming the gearbox oil (5spd manual in my case) needs to be drained and refilled, and accessing those drain bolts looks like a pig of a job (something else I've been meaning to do).
-Engine is covered in oil leaks which I'd like checked out.
-I also replaced the water pump a while back (driven it a few hundred miles since then). The warm coolant smell and dripping stopped, but I noticed some wet marks on the subframe that looked like coolant and the level in the expansion tank has dropped slightly. I'm hoping it's not leaking again.
I know I wrote a lot here, but I'm hoping someone can give me a guess on what this might cost me. I live a bit north of NYC, so any recommended mechanics in the tri-state area would also be great. Also traveling to western PA for thanksgiving, so if any indies on here in that area will be working then, let me know.
