    I would do the rear tire first. The cv joint and the steering kit can be fixed at the same time if low on budget. Repainting would be last.

    I would agree. Tyres are the first point of contact between your vehicle and the road. It also might explode and with the rainy season, you are putting yourself at risk with worn out, bald tyres.

    I would always make sure my car is mechanically sound before I put any money into aesthetics.

    the order of your list is already correct.

    BTW kung almost eorn na rear tyre mo, check mo na din condition and age of other tyres, if more than 3 yrs old better include that in your next maintenance and also the brakes pa check mo

    agree. aside from being worn out physically, baka over-age na ibang tires. tire expiration is 6 years. recommended to replace tires in 5-6 years, even if not worn out. check the date code marked on the sidewall.

    If isa lang yung rear tire mo na worn, you also have an alignment (camber/toe) issue.

    Tires first then cv joint. Kung kaya pagsabayin mas maganda.

    Tapos power steering and last is the paint job.

    sir, share ko lang yung yung post ko sa HCP baka makatulong:

    Thank you paps for this info and thank you HCP. I went to Ichicar this morning para masolve na leaking issue. Si Bong (owner) mismo naglinis ng PS steering pump ko. I just brought yung Honda PS fluid & repair kit (OEM).

    repair kit (seals & bearing) = P1,274.65 (honda shaw)

    fluid = P550.00 (1L)

    labor = P200.00
