Question 2011 noise when turning steering wheel

Help......my Honda Dealer just diagnosed a rubbery noise, made only when turning, in the front right wheel, to a faulty bearing at the top of the strut.
They want $300. to repair the bearing, or $400. to replace the strut.

Need a second opinion.......

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: 2011 noise when turning steering wheel

That sounds pretty cheap.
Does that price include the (necessary) wheel alignment?

If the strut isn't actually bad, I don't have an issue with reusing it. They aren't really a high failure item IMO.

No, those prices do NOT include the necessary alignment ($100.).
