    Can anyone give me some idea of what kind of regular maintenance
    they've had to perform on their front end. I ask as I've replaced
    several parts on my front-end due to a side collision and I'm now faced
    with re-replacing some of the same parts. The repair shop says this is
    normal wear and tear yet I've only put on 40,000 km since the accident,
    2 and 1/2 years ago.

    What type of items are we talking about here?

    Depending on the driving conditions you might need new axles (or at least
    the axle boots). Other than that, brake pads and rotors.

    How's your alignment? Does the car self-steer? How is the wear on your
    tires?

    With the side collision it will make things problematic. The accord's
    suspension design is actually quite good and parts should last a long
    time.

    You'll easily run through two sets of struts on the camry before even
    needing to touch the ones on the accord.

    But then, a side collision might have shifted the geometry and add to
    the stress on the parts.

    The steering is fine. It tracks fine but we are just experiencing many
    replacement parts. Not sure what to do. I have been to my honda
    dealership many times and they have generally been good, its just a
    hassle that never ends.

    I don't really want to go out and buy another vehicle. Any suggestions
    on how I should approach either Honda dealership/Honda/MPI?
