Ball Joint Replacement - 2003 - 2007 Honda Accord (04 - 08 Acura TSX, TL)

[@richardhennessee6328]

No auto repair job ever goes smoothly, regardless of how small it may be. Stuck parts and the like. This vid really helped when my brother and I changed the uppers, lowers, sway links and balljoints on his Accord. Rented that press tool from a local parts store and buddy, that thing saved the day. Thanks for a good, clear, no-nonsense vid.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Thanks! Rusty parts can mess up a small job. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Great video for showing how it's done for guys who already know how to do it. For anyone who doesn't recognize all the bits and bobs involved from strange unfamiliar angles, a few words telling what's being done during the process would take no extra time and make the video a valuable one.

Thank you for this. Your notes on the OTC parts really helped me out on my 07 Accord V6. I was able to replace the front driver's side ball joint myself and saved a boat load of money!

Did you remove the rubber boot when installing? I seen other videos that they didn't at all they just pressed it in.

[@securityguy]

@@Alvaresmaico20 You do not need to remove the boot to install the new OEM ball joint, given that you use an OEM ball joint and this OTC installation kit.

If you'd like to see a very comprehensive overview of this procedure, THIS video is THE GOLD STANDARD for this model Period, Yes this instance if minus a lot of rust and distracting obstacles, but THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF THIS offering from "Hardly Moving Productions" (and a tip of the hat to the 'Production' involved): I do not have to omit sections that show marred ball joint threads, nor look past the rust issues that folks from Buffalo, NY will want to see. This one smoothly shows individual 'sections/episodes' stitched together at a great pace (excellent- considering I shop-around for the instructional video that is best for me before I select one that will be .My reference.). I can hit the pause button at any time of course, but the pace of this vid allowed me to see quickly, while shopping for My reference, this is it. It is a great piece because it is so 'to-the-point'. It's realworld dirty (accessible) yet very clean (shot thoughtfully by an informed cam worker and edited neatly by an informed eye). It's an instant follow for anyone who has this model and wants to do the work. Thank you!

Thank you so much brother. I just had a scary mishap last night while going about 75 mph oh the highway 11pm. Ball joint snapped and took down the axle with it. Gonna try and attempt this on my own! Cant afford to go to the shop. Worst timing but trying to take it as it comes.

[@hardlymovingpro]

That's what happens when the ball joint breaks.

[@bmlaforge]

@@hardlymovingpro Lesson learned the hard way. I should've done a more thorough inspection on the car when I bought it 3 months ago. Just went outside not too long ago and found multiple things wrong on both sides, so I'm just doing an entire new suspension for both sides and play it safe

[@hardlymovingpro]

Good decision. You're better off in the long run replacing everything vs revisiting new problems.

[@JT-dx1qk]

I'm a Honda tech and you did that the hardest way possible , don't need to remove 95% of that stuff , and only need a big socket and a hammer to remove and install the joint

damn dude. i'm so glad i own a toyota. its like a 10 minute job. appreciate the video though bro

[@hardlymovingpro]

I'd say lower ball joints are the weakest part of older Honda's. Around 2004 the ball joints got beefier. When there aren't any worn suspension components, Honda suspensions gives a better ride than a Toyota. But to save money, I've see Honda moving away from double wishbone.

[@planchik]

@@hardlymovingpro i've owned hondas before i've owned toyotas and i like the camry ride better than accord. that's just my experience. i never took the honda apart to the extent that i did with my toyotas though.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Honda's double wishbone (control arm) suspensions keeps all the tire threads on the road when taking high speed turns over rough surfaces. More costly to produce for the auto makers. Pretty much standard for European as well as some Asian luxury cars. The newer Lexus LS sedans have up to 4 control arms. McPherson struts with rotating upper strut mounts is cheaper to design and make for Toyota.

[@Driving_Somewhere]

[@garyr7027]

Just an idea to keep in mind, if you plan on reusing any balljoints or tie rod ends, leave the nut on after loosing it. This way if you do happen to hit it with a hammer you won't mess the threads up. I did that one time, had to taper file the end of the threads to get the nut back on, leaving that nut on can save you time, money and hassle.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Good advance thinking! People should keep in mind that whatever was a hassle to take off might be a hassle to put back on.

[@garyr7027]

@@hardlymovingpro actually with Hondas that's spot on, especially those wheel bearings... I hate those things. They are not easy to do, heck my 97 f150 4x4 was easier, 3 bolts and the entire hub assemblies are removed... takes two hours tops for both sides if you take your time. Honda front ends can be tough depending what needs replaced.

I did this 2x on my 05 Accord. Both times it came loose in the knuckle. I asked my friend who is the shop forman 30 years at local Honda dealer. He advised they have a tendency to "woler" out the mounting whole and come lose in the whole. They replace the knuckle with the joint factory mounted. I've done this several times successfully. The price is less than a hundred on most online stores.

Very strange. Never had a customer comeback on a Honda ball joint replacement

Awesome video. Never thought about greasing the ball joint. First ones I purchased years ago from Moog were sealed at the top. More recently they're open for zirc fitting. I can see grease in the hole but it wouldn't hurt to add more.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Thanks for your comment. The higher quality ball joints, IMHO, like Moog don't have grease fittings.

[@christophermedlin2250]

Great videos very informative except for you have it listed that I need a 32 mm socket to remove the axle nut my car a 2005 Honda Accord EX required a 1inch and a 1/4inch socket to remove the axle nut great video

[@christophermedlin2250]

*UPDATE* I could never get my axle nut to break loose I broke 2 torque wrenches 1 of them I ended bending in half and I went through 2 sets of impact connectors I tried heat an everything still could never get the nut off just to update.

[@L5Rocks]

Did you Bend out the detent on the axle nut? What I use is a thick breaker bar. It works good even up here in Canada where things are rusty.

[@chrisrobles2012]

Chris Medlin , don’t use torque wrenches to remove anything. You need a breaker bar 1/2 “ or larger. I purchased a 1” socket wrench with a 32mm socket . It loosens it so effortlessly. Don’t forget to bang back out the indented nut before trying to break it loose.

Inch and a quarter is pretty close to 32 millimeter.

Thanks for your comment. Just replacing the ball joint ... I can probably do it in under 1.5 hours with the tools I've been using. If you're using mechanical tools (no powered impact drivers), it'll definitely take longer. I now buy new ball joints where the rubber boot is flush with the body of the ball joint that's pressed in the steering knuckle. They're more expensive but it saves me a lot of time. Like in the video, the rubber boot must be removed and refitted with the cheaper ball joints.

Some kits come with new rings and some do not. Quite frankly, I don't really see a need for it. Just how in the heck is the ball joint going to possibly come out being press fitted into the steering knuckle and bolted to the lower control arm? Maybe ... perhaps ... if you run your car into a ginormous pot hole? If that happened, you've got more to fix than a ball joint.

After injecting the grease, screw off the grease fitting nipple and screw on a plug. The new ball joint should have the plug in the replacement box. Sorry ... didn't show that in the video. Don't leave the nipple on. It won't clear the CV axle.

Nope. The only ring, which I think is overkill, is the ring installed after the new ball joint is pressed onto the steering knuckle.

No but used a older version ball joint adapter that semi worked. Believe there are adapters for new models but they're not cheap. Better off making your own adapter with custom cuts.
