Modern suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how. This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 1998-2002 Honda Accord.

Skip to 5:58 For the Annual 21st Century Fox Tribute. This is done in honor of all the movie lovers.

[@michaelschneider427]

Who heard 20th CENTURY FOX TRUMPET INTRO WHEN HE DRILLED IN THE BALL JOINT???

[@omarahmad25]

i hear it now! LOL

[@mg8718]

It was years ago but i know i replaced that ball joint on my 1998 accord v6 without any special tools at all. Thats all i remember. I never had to cut anything off. I think i used the castle nut to suck that ball joint right on into place. Losened nut back up and re tightened. Good to go.Never removed the boot either.

[@jacobsmith968]

Thank you, this video clearly and concisely got to the point, showed the little details well and didn’t waste time talking about the weather or something. Well done

[@TRQ]

+Jacob Smith Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@Bigfeats1337]

Wow your Honda is actually rustier than mine. Thanks for the vid!

[@CipheredCrimes]

If you’re attempting to do this repair, one thing he forgot to mention was to install the lower ball joint snap ring. Some Acuras and Hondas Do have it, I think it depends on the model.

[@nickstone7834]

could that front end be anymore cruded out..? looks like a junk yard pull for practice

[@macmuniz7357]

amazing mechanic congratulations.

[@aidenflockton4941]

This video is absolutely amazing, sauce me an apprenticeship LOL

[@LeandroDomingues-ux9cy]

Congratulations! Very good

[@scottrussell6646]

Nice video - well done. I don't think removing the ball joint or pressing the new one would be any fun.

[@sebastiang6163]

Great tutorial. Very much appreciated.

[@Thepurpleguerrilla]

I like how you guys snuck on a brand new hub and didn’t say anything

[@TYLERVUESJJ]

Dam change everything. That is so rusted

[@hudongng]

Thank you 😊 You did perfectly job man.

[@Roadmannerism-cc]

Great video mate! 10/10 For the upper replacement would you recommend the same procedure or would you recommend buying the UCA with the included BJ already installed.

[@willyrodriguez7318]

greetings friend! I would like to know what number is the largest socket you used to loosen the nut in the center of the brake disc. I want to do the same job for my 2000 Honda Accord, thank you!

[@TheWastedPaperProject]

Amazing video perfect thank you

[@deeloc5681]

Where's the snap ring that sits on top?

[@jasonshelton8178]

Did you grease the ball joint or is this obsolete for that ball joint

[@davidobermier5119]

Good mechanic

[@officialyungtwizted3858]

TRQ why are local shops telling me that this is a 3 in the half hour job?

[@98wytebird]

Because they are going by what the book says and to make money

[@roomanserna1702]

Shops will charge you for what they know and what they pay for tools they’ll never charge by hour fairly always over charge my dad owns a shop and sometimes I feel like he’s charging too much for basic stuff but it true he took the time to learn and earn his certification

[@quazar47]

Dont forget your split ring folks.

[@sandyschroder1447]

Does anybody know what there is to do if the nut from 1:40min doesn’t come off? It keeps spinning and spinning but not getting any looser or tighter.

[@matthewdean8613]

you didn't show how to put on the snap ring

[@jcorral2]

who is TRQ ? - i need driver side axles, are TRQ any good, who makes them?

[@johnathanrivera5187]

Forgot to put snap ring .

[@dopebloodwolf7003]

Thank you very much!

[@jameshunt5316]

@Dope Blood Wolf Did you use trq ball joints? Are they still holding up?

[@davidstmarie3952]

I definitely would have changed those rotors and pads !

[@MaleWhaleGaming]

idk if you're still reading the comments for this video but if this is a 98-02 accord what did you do to get it from 4lug to 5lug?

[@israr6761]

Replacing the wheel hub from a 4 stud hub to a 5 stud hub, and this is a whole different video you need to watch

[@quazar47]

I believe v6 models were the only 5 lug versions

[@microwavemicrowave918]

Thats one rusty accord

[@mr.eggscellent6997]

new cv-axle accompanied by an old rusty ass suspension lol

[@isthisthekrustycrab1428]

What is the importance of it. And why would I want to do it when replacing suspension parts ?
