New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASBJ00272
This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 2003-2007 Honda Accord. Car and truck 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 process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2003 Honda Accord
2004 Honda Accord
2005 Honda Accord
2006 Honda Accord
2007 Honda Accord

Great video! You left out the part where he puts the retaining ring back into the knuckle.

While replacing one of the front lower ball joints on my 2007 Honda Accord, I used a ball joint separator instead of a pickle fork. As I tightened down the ball joint separator with a hand ratchet, it shot out to the side (with all that built up energy from being tightened down) and hit my gloved thumb and almost broke it. I can see now a pickle fork is much safer!

[@user-gp3fl6cs6y]

At what point did you replace the bearing? That’s brand new

[@jonathanbarros9948]

That lower ball joint look like it's the wrong size. There's a few options on ball joints when it comes to Hondas.
