    The torque specs for the castlenut is 58-65. We are going to torque it to 58 and then use the slack of 7 remaining ft/bs to align our castle nut. That why they give us that range. You sir are a perfectionist. Excellent job.

    There was a video I watched awhile ago that was comparing OEM vs parts store replacement parts. They specifically used the lower control arm from an Accord. The brand they compared it to was Moog. They showed the quality of the metals from both. They put them both in a vice, then proceeded to hit them with a sledge hammer. They beat the hell out of the Honda OEM one and all they could do was dent it. They hit the Moog arm twice and it completely bent the entire control arm. Think of the sledge hammer as how the arm would hand if you were to hit a pot hole.

      Moog used to make good quality suspension parts, not any more. All after market parts are chinese crap these days. Better to invest in a nice press and buy the OEM ball joints, bushings and bearings. It’s actually cheaper than changing those crappy parts out every 6-12 months.

    Once again thanks so much. I often append big dog when I’m searching for how to car fix vids. I do a lot of mechanical work and yours are the best. It’s like lotto win when you come up on the topic. First big dog vid I found was when I did my first ever timing belt on an 07 Accord 6 cylinder. Your attention to detail paint markings saved me when I knocked a gear out of line I was able to reposition. Job went well and car has been running smoothly these last two years. Now I’m doing control arms on another 07 so checking in again. Thanks again.

    Excellent video. I did this same job on this same car about 8 months ago. In my case, it was a very difficult job, because the bolt in the compliance bushing was completely frozen. I had to heat up the captured nut and ended up cutting the bolt on top and at the bottom to get the control arm off. I used a grinder with an extra large wheel to cut the bolt. It was completely sketchy and dangerous! It probably would have been better to use a reciprocating saw instead of a grinder, but I couldn't find mine. I always hope that in these videos, that the content provider has these kinds of problems, but usually the don't. I always appreciate content providers that video when they have problems, but in your case, it went very smoothly.

Also, for sway bar links, I prefer enclosed (non greaseable) ones. Just in case other people maintain the car, they may miss to put the grease from time to time.

      I'm just going to replace all the arms and linkages because I'm not comfortable doing the whole job in my apartment parking lot and I plan on replacing essentially every part of the suspension on the whole car (8th gen accord) except the coilovers I installed about a year ago and I dont trust the mechanics to change the bushings properly and also they would charge me for their time to replace the bushings even if I supplied them so why not just get new parts for a little more money and get everything nice and shiny and new.

    Nice vid. I did a similar job but never took the wishbone (fork) off from above. It just moves out of the way. Also, my axle (cv joint) fell out a little and I was able to get it back in by wiggling it back and forth, but it's best to avoid this if possible. I will tie the axle towards the body with a bungee or something next time. To get the vertical bolt (compliance bushing) started, I had to put pressure upward on the bolt (with a jack) while turning it with a wrench. It has an angled top for self-align/starting. I like your safety advice. I too, put jack stands, the tire, and often some logs under the car in case it slips.

      Uneven tire wear and it will pull to the right or to the left when giving it gas or letting off the gas while driving down the road. Very noticeable the worse it gets. It essentially changes the toe on front tires when driving which causes the uneven tire wear. Plus if you look at them while the car is still together you can usually see the bushing deteriorating. I have an 06 Accord and I am about to do this same job on mine.

    Thanks, for the detailed video. Would the bushing having a crake pull the car to left or right while accleerating?

    • @DFWJon
      @DFWJon 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely, also when decelerating. It also causes uneven tire wear. Mine were on the inside of the tire on both side of the car. Also, if you look at the bushing then you should be able to see the condition of the bushing, especially if it’s really bad.

    If they are stuck, a few minutes with a map torch, punch out the rubber, score the outer housing of the bushing to relieve tension.
    If that fails you can use a cold chisel too curl and peel the housing away from the arm at the point that you scored it.

    Great tutorial man! I wonder if my '08 Accord needs to have those compliance bushings replaced as well. I'll take a look before I get ready to replace my shocks which are just about done. That way I can replace both at once if needed. Cheers!

    Also the cotter pin, you do it your way cos the eye of the cotter pin is horizonal but it's actually weaker. If the eye is vertical (which means you bend the ends around the castle nut) the pin is stronger.

      Did you end up using OE arms or aftermarket? I heard the stock arms are much better quality than aftermarket.

    BigDog50001 recommends replacing the Honda stabilizer links with Moog links, and I agree. However, Moog does not offer or make available their 15mm locknuts. The BigDog50001 dyi video replacing Honda Accord rear Struts, he states the stabilizer link locknut must be removed to release the stabilizer links and make room to replace the rear strut. However, BigDog50001 omits any discussion as how to re-secure the Moog stabilizer link. I have searched and found only one possible replacement 15mm flanges metal locknut via McMaster Carr, but there is no reference or mention of any compatible replacement locknut and Moog does NOT make their locknuts available. Any guidance on how to reconnect the Moog locknut would be extremely helpful. Does Honda sell their stabilizer link locknuts, but Moog does not? If so, how do we secure the “superior quality” Moog link once the locknut is removed? Thanks, David

    • @BigDog50001
      @BigDog50001  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes there is a catch 22 when dealing with stabilizer/sway bar links. Honda sells replacement locking nuts but Moog does not and Moog usually uses a different size nut so they are not interchangeable. When I am doing these jobs the stabilizer links are usually not new or anywhere close to new so it is not an issue for me. They are typically cheap enough that I just replace the stabilizer links with new ones when doing these jobs rather than try to save the old ones and find replacement locking nuts. There are aftermarket manufacturers that make locking nuts, just have to get the correct size.

    • @davidhay7264
      @davidhay7264 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dear Dave
      Thank you for the prompt and frank response concerning the Moog links that require new locknuts. One of the techs who responds to issues regarding Moog stabilizer link issue suggested that the metal locknuts could probably be used a second time if they are relatively new. While your answer is the correct one, it seems the Moog metal locknuts might have one second life in them.
      Thanks

    • @BigDog50001
      @BigDog50001  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No right or wrong answer to that, as there are pluses and minuses to doing each. But as these cars age, it can be more cost effective to buy a good quality aftermarket control arm and replace the entire thing. As far as pricing, it can vary widely depending on the cost of the part (cheap vs quality aftermarket vs OEM etc) and the labor rates in the area you live.
