awesome video! That's why I had air tools. my shop wants to charge me $1,000 and I've done a rotor replacement on a 96 Accord and this looks very similar to what I had to do when replacing my 96 Accord rotors.
I found your videos very helpful. I just worked the whole front end on my 2011 Accord with a mechanic friend of mine and ended up with positive camber on the passenger side wheel. We replaced the struts also. What did we do wrong? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance for your help.
That nut by the tow loop absolutely wrecked me. Had to do by hand because I had just spent several hundred on parts and an impact gun and couldn't afford to also replace the cheap floorjack i got years ago. The jack doesnt lift the car high enough for my impact to fit facing up and down like that. Boy, ill be feeling that for days while wondering if i got a hernia and im only 33 LOL Otherwise, not a bad job at all.
To any garage weekend warrior mechanics thinking of doing this, please don’t. Take it somewhere, this is an absolute nightmare to do when you’re sitting on ground, and dealing with rust. The new one will not line up easily at all, I ended up ripping the axle out of the transmission because the hub swiveled around, needed a new axle as well, this is not recommended, you’ll thank me later
I've developed worse wheel hop in my 09 accord over the past year. I'm thinking this will fix it since I have some cracking in existing arm to frame bushing
Approximately how long of a job is this? I am getting my passenger side lower control arm replaced on 2009 Accord and need to know the approximate length (time span) of the job...??? Side note: Yes, I know both should be replaced. Originally that's what I was supposed to get done. The guy replaced one and quit the job on me a few months ago.
Can 17mm nut at 1:02 get a bit loose and create a clunk noise when I back up to parking spot? When I come to complete stop and turn my wheel to dead end I hear clunking noise.
Does any one know how to get the lower ball joint ‘shaft’ to line up with the hole in the control arm when reassembling? After getting the front and rear bolts reinstalled in the control arm, the ball joint shaft seems to be too far ‘out’ to fit back into the hole in the lower control arm. Am I missing something here?
Would that cause a vibration in the steering wheel I'm trying to pin point a vibration on my 2014 accord already replaced some things already took it to 2 dealerships they couldn't figure it out
I would say is the axel brother , most likely the one on the driver side . What ever you do , DONT TAKE THE BREAK BRACKET OFF it will save you a lot of time .
I like the professional mechanics in the comments telling people not to try this. Y'all aren't fooling us. If you wanna make a buck, don't overcharge us for parts, and we'll happily pay for fair labor.

I'm so impressed how much he unstucks things in this job without cussing a single time.
Thank you for mentioning the torque specs!

Could be bad shocks and ur bouncing on the spring
What kind of impact did you use for this job? Thanks!
Trying to get the ball joint back on is hard when the axle keeps moving around and not letting me move it to where it need to be

Did that lower control arm come with a ball joint ?
Great information video

Everytime i jack it up to get the ball joint back on the axle pops out and i cant get it on
Why did you tighten the ball joint before attaching all bolts
What is that thing called that is connected to the control arm
Thank you a lot!!!

A vibration is most likely an axle or motor mount

Anyone knows the name of the part he’s unlocking at 0:26 -1:00
Anyone know what “regular ride height” is? Mentioned around 14:20
