That 90 degree angle tip really helped a lot, I always wondered how it was supposed to be set.

Yup that’s the angle it relaxes at when car is sitting on ground

Lot of wrist action. That's where a power ratchet comes in handy. Lol.

How often are those control arm bolts siezed? Should it be something to worry about when planning to change the arm?

@RBTheMechanic Жыл бұрын

Possability yes !!! Only when trying it will tell lately 99.9999 % I have had bad luck

Do you need an alignment after this? I have to replace the 2 front uppers and one lower ball joint

@RBTheMechanic Жыл бұрын

It should disturb the alignment but do get alignment

Would the 2nd Gen TSX ('09-'14) be the same torque specs?

@RBTheMechanic 6 ай бұрын

Mostlikely same but I would double check

Did the upper ball joint go bad, and you had to change both upper control arm + ball joint?

@RBTheMechanic Жыл бұрын

Yes control arm is one part with ball joint

@haydendavis156 Жыл бұрын

It’s also a press in ball joint as well, but depending on what tools you have or having a shop do it, it can either be easier to change the arm yourself or be cheaper to change the joint yourself, but for a shop it’s probably better to just replace the arm

@haydendavis156 Жыл бұрын

@@RBTheMechanic ‘06 TSX. They come as a complete arm, but you can also get just the ball joint and press it out/in, and the adjustable uppers are bolt on joints. Mine already had an adjustable i found out, so it was a quick 30 minute job, didn’t have to take the arm out or anything, just the one nut on the top and a hammer strike to break the corrosion and it pops out
