I'm getting ready to perform this job on my 94 Accord LX. You explained everything perfectly made it very understandable. Thanks for the tips for removing the fuse box that's going to save my life! 🤣 I'm so glad i dont have to separate the axles that's the whole reason i was checking this video out!...🙏🙏🙏
My upper control arm bushings were loose requiring me to tighten them up when I installed them (the 2 rear parts that mount up) could that result in the car sitting higher?
There is another method just keep the tires on and jack up the car enough to where you can access the ball joints, side bushing nuts and bolts and have a fork as he has talked about I found doing this was quicker.
I followed this video to replace mine, but afterwords I realized this video missed an important step. When you tighten the bushings on the new control arm, it’s important to tighten the bushings while the suspension is under load. If you tighten the bushing while the suspension is drooped all the way down, the rubber bushings will constantly be stressed when the wheels are on and the car is in the resting position. So after the control arms are on and the bushings are still loose, you can either put the wheel on, drop the car, then tighten the bushings, or jack the brake rotor up until the suspension is in the position it normally is with the wheels on, and then tighten the bushings. If you don’t do this the control arm rubber bushings will fail waaaay quicker. The model of control arm I used had self locking bushing nuts too, so loosening them and tightening them under load likely made the self locking less effective
Hey man whats the part # on that moog upper control arm? I''ve been getting "moog"" control arms from autozone with no grease fitting and they keep on failing. Yours looks more beefy to.
