This video will show you how to replace front suspension lower ball joint on a 2003 - 2007 Honda Accord. The replacement was performed on a 2004 4 dr Accord LX. Method of performing this service can also be done on a 04 - 08 Acura TSX & TL. The replacement will improve ride quality and help correct wheel alignment, tire wear and traction issues. Honda specific ball joint press adapters and a ball joint press (some auto parts retailers rent them) are needed to perform this replacement. For the highest quality ball joint with a lifetime warranty, go with MOOG brand suspension products.
04:30 After adding grease through this fitting, remove the grease fitting, and install a
grease fitting plug.

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.

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.

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.

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.

how did that abs sensor come out like butter. usually thats stuck and need to drill out

@hardlymovingpro 7 ай бұрын

Depends on where the car lived. If in where they salt roads in the Winter, the sensor hole will get rusty. Try soaking with penetrating oil overnight before attempting removal. Or just leave the sensor in there with the wire detached.

Ball joint I was sold has a unremoveable boot w/o grease fitting.Maybe I'm getting old but all front end parts used to be equipped with a grease fitting(so you could grease them).If Turkey gets attacked from the rear,will Greece help ?

@hardlymovingpro 7 ай бұрын

If the dust shield boot is flush with the body of the ball joint, you'll be able to press it in without ripping the boot.

Why remove the boot prior to install? Curious. Thanks for the vid

@hardlymovingpro 4 ай бұрын

If the replacement ball joint's boot is not flush with the ball joint body, the boot won't squeeze through the steering knuckle ball joint hole. Better off get a ball joint with a flush boot.

Look like you had to modify the receiver portion of the ball joint press tool to have clearance for it to work on this job. Is that correct?

Nope. Although not a perfect fit but good enough to get most of it out.

I looked up some ball joints for a 2008 Acura TL and they are greased already with no option to further grease. I don’t need to remove boot on those right?

@hardlymovingpro 4 жыл бұрын

That’s an excellent question. Only if the boot diameter is not larger than the diameter of the mounting hole in the steering knuckle. I now only buy lower ball joints where the boot is flush with the ball joint. Checkout Moog brand ball joints.

@thronewalker1153 3 жыл бұрын

Does that ball have a snap ring or anything holding it into place.

@hardlymovingpro 3 жыл бұрын

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

Quick questions : Do you recommend adding more grease to non serviceable ball joints that require boot removal in order to be installed and what type of grease would you use that would mesh well with the grease that's already in the ball joint? What do you think about using a circlip to retain the boot on the ball joint instead of fiddling with the retention spring? Thanks and great video!

@hardlymovingpro 3 жыл бұрын

Use any bearing grease with moly. If not using retaining clip, use hd glue like JB Weld.

Fastest way to get the top ring for the boot on...work the end of the ring up to the neck of the boot and then hold it there with your pointing finger while turning the boot and working the rest of the ring upwards with your right hand.

@@hardlymovingpro just installed ball joints on my 06 TL. While installing a new joint on the driver side I cross-threaded the stud screwing the nut on (uggggh) and I had to buy ANOTHER ball joint, take the knuckle off again, pop that one out and install the new one. After fighting with the top ring the first time I learned the easy way the 2nd time.
