1999 Honda Accord Upper Ball Joint/Control Arm Replacement

thanks for the response, yeah, especially with your technique of dropping the entire arm, it looks like it's not too much more work and only about $50 more in parts.

Why did you have to replace the whole control arm though? I didn't see anything wrong with it and the ball joint should be where the play was being felt. Great video though!

@thehumble1 When researching what to do, I found it was a difficult procedure to replace only the ball joint without a hydraulic press. And if not done correctly, I heard that they would fail prematurely. The aftermarket assembly was about twice the cost but less than have the effort.

Thanks for the Video! Very helpful and well made!

My GF has a 2001 Honda Accord EX 4 cylinder and is experiencing medium to strong steering wheel vibration when breaking and at 60+ miles per hour and suspect that the ball joint is bad. Assuming that ball joint is indeed bad, can you replace just the joint and not the whole control arm? Autozone carries the arm/joint for 119.99 and the joint itself is only 19.99. Thanks again for the vid!

Great video! I replaced my upper control arm exactly according to this video, I just couldn't reach the 2 14mms on the sides because of the strut. I didn't have enough room. So I tried to take the strut out (like it says in the video) the only thing that I think was not in the video was the other 17mm bolt that attaches the fork shape thing from the strut to the lower control arm, I took that out completely and I had enough room in there to take the bolts out!

Thanks a lot!
