Needs at the very least

New Outer Rockers both sides

New Brakes, Rotors rear.

New Wheel Bearing

New flex pipe

About $700 in parts

I'm assuming it needs the new back plates in the rear near the brakes? The center is rusted out and I can see daylight through it, I'm assuming that's where the wheel bearing sits? Anyways I can't seem to find that part anywhere.

If I could get all the parts for <$800 and a labour rate of $60 ($40 US) an hour for everything but the rockers is it worth fixing?

Mazda 3 2012 2.0L.. It has made a small noise when hitting bumps for a couple months now. Got it checked out and they couldn't figure it out. I assumed it was just the f'ed up heatshield rattling around. Passed safety a month later. Now again about a month later i hit a bump and it instantly sounded 10x worse. Any idea? Sounds like it's coming from the rear left side and only makes noise over bumps. Hit a big bump on my way out of work and it sounded horrible.

So i had 1 speed sensor code pop up along with the tc light staying on. I replaced the speed sensor but code still came up along with the tc light. Then the other speed sensor code came not long later. I let my car sit for a couple weeks, Battery died so I jumped it today and it has that BCM actuator stuck code. It has the ABS light on, TC light and the red ( ! ). Car is also going into limp mode sometimes when I stop to park and drive again. As soon as I shut off TC it seemed to work (maybe coincidence) but it did it randomly from park to drive (reverse always worked fine). I thought maybe it was just a glitch and cleared the codes but realized something was fucked up when I tried to drive it. Battery test said "good" and the alternator test said over charging at 14.7V i think it was (don't know how accurate the scanner test is for those). Any ideas wtf is wrong with it?
