just installed my new cv axles i ordered from you guys on my 2007 honda pilot, recieved them within 4 days and installed today. clicking is gone and im super happy i was able to get such a great price on them. while i was installing them i could see that my ball joints are shot so im gonna be ordering the control arms from you guys. watching this video, i feel confident to do it myself again. thanks for the video guys and i look forward to doing future businees with you.
Any thoughts on reusing lower control arm bolts? Online I’ve read mixed thought on it but in the video he uses the old ones and doesn’t mention it
This helped a bunch man. And I got the ball joint tool for $20 at Harbor Freight in my town after trying for 30 minutes to get ball joint out with a pickle fork and hammer.
What a cringe fest lol
mechanic said my lower control arm bushing is cracked for my acura tsx (120, 000 miles). Car runs fine and no strange noise. Should I replace lower control arm? Or should I wait until I hear noise.
Will cost around $500 to replace here in NYC area. Does that seem about right
Could I save money and just to replace the bushings
So, don't use new bolts then?
You put the old bolts back in. Your directions say to use new hardware ?
Thanks for the video, however the lower control arm got the best of me. For some reason I cannot manipulate the ball joint making this a impossible task. Any advise?
Thanks!! I’m a mechanic now! Lol
Nice video!
Couldn't a manual separator (pickle fork) take the place of a ball joint press?
Is an alignment needed after replacing the control arm?
The key to the job is to install the new LCA in the order presented here. Do the rear bolt first, and attach the ball joint nut last. Otherwise, you won't be able to get everything to line up and bolts won't go in.
The bolt which passes through the compliance bushing gets torqued to 83 ft lbs and the bushing in the front gets torqued to 69 ft lbs(like you said).
When you put the ball joint back in using the jack stand, did you make sure that bolt is as far in as possible before putting that castle nut back on?
