Replace Honda Accord Control Arm Bushings. Same Process for Most Cars.

Thanks for watching. Please subscribe and click the bell icon.
Issues on this car was creating clunking noise or steering movement to one direction when pressing breaks or sudden acceleration.
I replaced a bushing on left control arm from Honda accord. This should be the same process for most cars. Maybe the easy way just to replace control arm set, but I checked other bushings were still good.

This is a great video. Thanks. I’m doing this job now for the second time and I was trying to remember all this. Thanks.

Before you tighten the bushings you have to jack up the wheel to proper height or else the bushings will fail

[@NorCalOutdoor]

Very good suggestion. Thanks

[@azaharimohamad746]

you are right. When u twist the screw, the device will run away from centre and make the rubber damage. Thanks on advice. Need hidrolic pump for bigger bush.

It states in the workshop manual "replace driveshaft nut torque setting 184 ft- lbf " Not an impact wrench !

Good job.....it is better to try than not to try....

[@kin123459]

Hey good video, can you please share the link for this bushing kit cause i needed to know the size that you are using ? Thanks

[@trankt54155]

Thanks for posting the video.

You didn't orientate the bushing correctly, the gaps in the rubber are to allow the control arm to rotate up and down with the suspension, not forward and backward like you suggested.

[@NorCalOutdoor]

Should be both, up/down and left right. There is a dot sign ifnI remember correctly to put on correct position. That matches with the original position

[@schifoso]

​@@NorCalOutdoor Larger part of the rubber face front and back. Check any photo of a lower control arm.

[@NorCalOutdoor]

@schifoso That makes sense. I should have checked the other side before I put it on. Thank you.

[@bbcake001]

You point the arrow to the ball joint!

[@nelsonjaneiro5543]

Thas why i buy all asamble and avoid all that😂😂😂

[@rommelreyes2209]

Don’t you need to jack the rotors up before you tighten the other bushing? That is compressed when the car is levelled

👊🤓

[@johnnguyen2376]

Using 1/2" grade 5 and up will be fine .

[@quanhuynh894]

Where did you get the tooll

[@NorCalOutdoor]

Amazon. If you dont want to buy the tool, you can bring the control arm to local shop and ask them to replace the bushing. Usually they only charge you around $15 for one bushing

[@May16Joe]

you can rent it at autozone if you live in US.

[@longsleevethong1457]

Oriellys will let you borrow the tool

[@rowenramnath2016]

Twice I had to change my bushing

[@NorCalOutdoor]

@rowenramnath2016 Do you remember how many miles between the changes was? Thanks

[@briequintana4385]

How much does this cost

[@NorCalOutdoor]

Hi Brie, what cost? Tools or bushings?

[@GF-mf7ml]

Every time this bushing fail, ill replace with polyurethane. Most of them fail around 6 years.

[@NorCalOutdoor]

@@GF-mf7ml does it stay longer?

[@GF-mf7ml]

@NorCalOutdoor it still good after 5 years

[@GF-mf7ml]

@NorCalOutdoor I heard someone fail under 2 weeks and replace it with polyurethane.

[@NorCalOutdoor]

@GF-mf7ml okay, thanks.

[@NorCalOutdoor]

@GF-mf7ml yeah, maybe a defect part. Thanks for sharing
