SUSP: Lower Balljoint DIY Video!

[Losiracer2]

I found a guy who did a pretty detailed explanation with a video on youtube. He looks like a professional tech. So I would trust he did the job correctly without cutting any corners upon installation. This was done on a 1990 Accord 5spd, but Auto or 5spd shouldn't matter, just the axle placement is in a diff. spot on the autos (slightly further in). So if you hear a knocking or clunking, replace those balljoints NOW!!! Thanks goes to EricTheCarGuy for making this video. I HIGHLY recommend a moderator sticky this....this is a very useful for us CB7tuners.

your always looking for video's for car repairs like me.

this guy's video is very informational, and entertaining at the same time

and this is the time i was looking on how to replace my axle also.

EVERYTHING that ive done way too much. And everything that i just got finished last night. Including the wheel bearing. Have fun guys. And you can fit the inner boot of the axle threw the wishbone or whatever he called it and it can come out that way too.

You...dirty. Yea you....


I have been needing to do this since Im hearing a clunk in the mornings. But knowing my suspension and my experiences with it, whoever built my car was a BIG MFer because every bolt is waaaaayyyyy too tight and its always a pain to get things loose. But I will tackle it!

its really not that hard, you just need to over come the axle nut, that would be the hardest I'd think, the rest is just undoing bolts and hammering on the back of those 4 12pts that go into the hub...well not on those 12pts but find some longer bolts to put in place of them and then hammer away lol

I totally agree using Moog over others. They are some good quality stuff.

ok this is my 2 quick questions,
1) the 12pt bolt screws into the hub not the kncukle right? (thats why we are allowed to hammer the bolt witout stripping the threads right?

2)can i remove the bolts while axel is on?

axel not is nothing to me, i use a bicycle fork as a breaker bar, and second i remove the nut while the wheel is on this avoids the axel from spinning.
