Fti you do not need to take apart the ball joint. You can remove the entire ballmount bracker with 2 nuts and one bolt from the bottle. Thus way your not disturbing the balljoint.
I've been using Detroit Axle stuff on my cars for a while now, and had no issues with any of it. They even took a return-exchange when I ordered the wrong part by accident.
I had one the same year, had it 6 months and the gearbox went, replaced it, then another 6 months and the engine went and then had to replace than, still love hondas, my son has a 2 year old Honda Jazz/Fit, good luck with it for your daughter, keep on the good work.
WOW. These are really good cars. IMO. have a great track record. The thing that also is good they are pretty easy to work on. But Not so great on power or MPG. I could not use one for myself. but my daughter it is perfect. I need like 40 or more MPG.
I have used Detroit Axle products for years. Short drive for me to their shop, but actually cheaper to order them and have them delivered at times. I have done a good number of these and wouldn't have done any differently.
Tried a Detroit Axle CV axle for my Fusion and it didn't run as smooth as the factory units. I'll be buying Moog if I do the other side or a different vehicle. Nice tutorial! 👌🏼
I have a question. I had a bad axle that was causing shaking at highway speeds I got them replace at a shop with new aftermarket axles and it fixed my issue. But right after they were replaced I now have a vibration at 25mph only that was not there before. If I accelerate quickly I don't even feel it. I believe aftermarket axle is causing this. But is it ok to drive with it this way ? I have been for 3 months now and it has not gotten worse or anything.
Your comment was 5 months ago, just wondering if your vibration cause other issues and its safe to drive? I'm also wondering if this is acceptable. I just replaced both of my front cv axles, with aftermarket parts and I now have a vibration around 20mph that wasn't there before the replaced axles. I'm wondering if this will cause other issues or if its just an annoyance. My mechanic isn't sure what I should do after putting in a second set of aftermarket axles, since it still vibrates. Can't believe OEM axles are $600 each, and they aren't even available to purchase...seems like Honda is taking advantage of this common aftermarket axle problem.
@porkrolleggNcheese1 I have been driving with it like this fffor 8 months and it has not caused any other issues and the vibration remains only at 25 mph for me nothing before and nothing after. After looking into it on my own I have come to the conclusion the only thing causing this vibration is most honda OEM axles have a rubber damper on their axles and after market axles do not and from what I have read that is what causes the small vibration. It has been completely harmless for me. You are ok to live with it as long as you believe you picked a good brand of aftermarket ones and not completely trash.
Got a question: Have a 2012 Honda CR-V. 95k miles...and whenever the wheel hits a very small pothole in the road or even a manhole cover, the drivers see wheel vibrates for a good 2 seconds before vibration stops.. this vibration can occur at super low speeds of 20-30 mph…question is .is it the cv joints at fault, ball joints or struts.?…or should I try changing everything in hops of catching the problem?
I changed my carrier bearing and it did nothing. On hard acceleration between 80 km/h to 100 km/h there is a noticeable vibration on the front passenger side of the vehicle. Ire’s and new and balanced and suspension is solid and links are all new. Honda says it “might “ be CV axels…..no way to tell me yes or no. I have zero looseness in axels and no oil leaking. Go figure.
