Sometimes I miss my honda. Fixing other stuff never goes as smoothly.
Edit: a week later I’m changing 40 year old ball joints on an old GM. This
sucks. (also replacing control arm bushings). Although your video gives me
hope for being able to do it with a hammer. Don’t see why I should go buy a
press.
Man, you make it look so easy.
Eric the car guy-thanks for sharing your knowledge -your videos are so
helpful.
Anyone else go OH!!! after he said “Well obviously there’s a tire
issues..but..more importantly” BOOM broken half shaft.
lol, and another thing, hope you dont blow a ball joint and rip your cv
shaft out while crossing train tracks and getting stuck on them, like i
did.
according to tire condition, driver is kamikaze
I just changed out the cv axel on my 96 accord the same way you did on the
video but the clutch lost its pressure I’d like to know the reason and how
to fix that I also put new transmission fluid in it
you said if the car has vibrations or shakes on the steering wheel it has
what particular problems? my datsun 280ZX turbo does that. also its been
sluggish during acceleration, i looked at it and thought it could be gasket
leaks maybe? it sputters when trying to accelerate with little backfire.
Seems that customer also needs a new tire and obviously an aliment after
the suspension work.
I sent my Civic 2012 Coupe EX back to the dealer since it was still under
warranty and that cost me $500. Was it worth it?
What do you suggest if you can’t get the but of the axle loose? I have
broken two breaker bars and used my impact. :/
Hey,
! got a microcar with a ticking axles.
The one on the left side.
Would it be an option to take it apart and clean it and look what couses
it, or is it just wear beyond repair?
what do you do if you bought a van it got shakey front wheel but when im
under neath it it got a tracking arm missing is that normal
Do you not torque your ball joints? You just blast through everything with
your impact gun?
Eric the hero!
Piece of junk Honda. Can’t they build cars that are idiot proof?
hehehe
i like how blunt and direct you are about fixing vehicles 🙂 you dont get
off in the bullshit like the other folks that make videos that are trying
to sell there own asses lol thanks for the video :)
How can you tell if the balljoint is bad before this happens? I guess you
can hear som noise but can you fysiclly (if that is a word) feel or see
that it is bad?
Buy a ball joint press tool. I have one…works great!
Thank you Eric ive learned alot from your videos
Great vid man .. First one I have watched but I’ll be subscribing to keep
up to date .
Thx. I needed this video. Also your 101 noises video is awesome too. I
appreciate your time, as much of us probably do. Thx again!
I think I like the narrated videos better.
Hi Eric, another great vid!! what size impact were you using on this vid?
How did I know it was an accord?
Thanks for uploaded.
Another gem, thanks E!
Rebuilt axle=junk!
Hi eric can u do the removal of the balljoint from the hub of a 98 integra
Just changed a lower control arm on a 2009 G6 with less than 60K on it. The
ball joint was wore out already!
Well there’s your problem! lol
ERIC, WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON REMAN CV AXLES OR NEW CV AXLE. I HEARD ALOT
OF PEOPLE SAYING THEY PREFER REMAN TO NEW.
Nice video! I bet their other side ball joint will separate soonly also
Hi Eric,
I had misfortune to have a problem with my near side drive shaft and it was
replaced with a new one for a reasonable amount. The repairers gave me the
old shaft to keep. The part that let me down was the cog on the end which
was on the other side of split ring which kept the chine end in the Gear
Box. This cog just snapped off clean, can I buy a new end and fit it to the
shaft. Keep up the good work.
Just did this job on a 97 accord. I had great luck using an air hammer to
remove and install the lower balljoints.
Holy crap you have 5 million clutch alignment thingies.
I think my 92 accord’s axle broke today, i was drivng about 20mph and
suddenly it smashed down and i looked at the tire, the spindle is broken
but i dont seem to know what is broken, can anyone help please i am
thinking about replacing it myself
My wheel came off while i was driving and i find out that my rotor is
cricked also when i rotate the rotor something scrapes , and i cant put a
wheel on it because the lugs dont want to go in when you try to tighten
them, do you know what coudlve mest up?
hai eric
I have a problem with my toyota corolla 2006, when i drive above 50 miles
there is a sound comin from front left side and a little shake. also when
i applied the brake in at high speed the brake pedal oscilating… i dont
know whether both are related or not, but any way i went 3 different
mechanics all of them have differnt openions, one said bad tire, one said
sway bar and i spend 300 dollors to toyota dealer to wheel alingment and
balanceing… no use…. i would like to hear from you
thanks
My Chevy aveo ls 2007 steering wheel is kind of shaky especially when im
driving on the highway… What can it be?
& also my 1999 ford tourus is making a clicking nosie when i accelerate,
what can that be?
Thank you.
Hey Eric WTF is it with a LOT of Yank Mechanics and bloody rubber gloves
???
Here is a little tip for you Eric for what it is worth, IMHO NEVER drive a
Ball joint like that in from an angle, but I noticed you mentioned to be
carefull and not cock it off line in the boring 🙂 , What I do since I have
made a series of cups that fit onto the drive flange of the new Ball Joints
and then simply pull the Ball Joint into the Strut with a real big “G”
Clamp and a tube for the Ball joint bolt to rest in as it is clamped up.
Also I am sorry but I must correct you in the terminology they are NOT
axle’s your referring to regarding the correct size but are CV Shafts.
Looks like the Front suspension should have ALL the ball joints replaced
along with the Tie Rod ends, you are spot on with the preventative
maintenance too IMHO. If you have the vehicle partially disassembled
replacing a couple of hundred dollars worth of knuckles and joints is way
cheaper than crashing the car because something gave out. Oh PS I hope you
loosened and then re-tightened the Lug nuts with a Cross Wrench once on the
ground.
“Obviously there’s a tire issue” LOL…
If the tire is loose along its z axis (i.e. the way the wheel normally
turns with the steering wheel), then what should I look for?
Eric, I just installed a new ball joint, one month old, an the boot of the
ball joint is already torn. Could you make a video on how to change the
boot of a Accord 1996 lower ball joint ??? or any car ? Is it worth it to
change the boot ? is it easy ?? Thanks
good job man.
Eric, I love you! Everytime I need to know something about my car, I look
for you. Thank you, lpt55
