I just wanted to check in and report that I'm finished and after a good test drive last night and today my X drives great. Again I changed the following:

1). RH side CV Axle
2). Wheel bearing
3). new Trust Arm bushing pressed in
4). Ball Joint

I plan on changing the LH side TA bushing/Ball Joints next week then taking it in to get aligned.

All the parts added up to $216. Total labor for bearing and bushing replacment was $93 and I spent about $39 for assorted tools i.e. 36mm socket, e10 star socket to remove ball joint screws, ect. So about $350ish total. Many of the tools needed such as the ball joint removers was rented from Autozone.

Would I do it again? I don't know. This was a long, difficult, and strenuous job. And as most of us realize we don't typically have alot of spare time to delve into such projects. I did learn that changing the CV Axle in of itself isn't all that difficult.
