I don't know how much it should cost, but I know what it did cost on a 2000 LX model. At a Honda dealer in Bethesda MD the price is $587 parts and labor. I am sure that comparison pricing would result in a lower cost to the consumer. just recently (feb 2011) replaced 2 bushings on my 2000 lx civic. pepboys wanted ~$450 for labor and parts.
epithet (plural epithets) 1  A term used to characterize a person or thing. 2  A term used as a descriptive substitute for the name or title of a person. 3  One of many formulaic words or phrases used in Iliad and the Odyssey to characterize a person, a group of people, or a thing.  An abusive or contemptuous word or phrase.
Epithet is a figure of speech that is quite commonly used, but is considered to be poor writing choice, as most often it doesn't relate to the action at hand. They were more prevalent in epic poems and writings, where proper names and nouns were bolstered with an adjective for a more dramatic and descriptive effect. The epithet is used to denote a certain characteristic in a person or a thing, which the reader can identify with. Epithets were widely used in earlier times to help the reader visualize the characters and bring color and vividness to the narrative.
