Wheel bearing was getting noisy on passenger side for the last couple of weeks so I booked it in to be replaced. Not only was the wheel bearing going but front shocks, ball joints, and upper shock tower mounts. Just about had a heart attack. Oh well I'll have a new front end. Car had to spend the night at the shop.

Ouch!! I bet that was a pretty big bill!!
You could have saved yourself a bit of $$ by doing the shocks, ball joints and strut mounts yourself (if you had the time) Wheel bearings are too much work and need a press etc. though; so good to get the shop doing them.
You're car is probably the most mint Tercel around now! New body and mechanicals!
