@Andrew Brickhill If you have headphones on it can hurt your ears. If other people are around and you don't want to disturb them, the lower sound helps, not everyone is into what you are into.
Wow. I work on nothing but Honda’s and Acura’s and other Asian imports only and haven’t seen this tool yet or had any tool rep even mention it. This is a life saver on wasting time going to press to press them out and back in! Ordering me one NOW
The first Eric video I ever watched was him vs. oddy door slider wheels ever since then I only trust Eric's videos such perfect attention to detail and camera placement all by himself bravo Eric bravo
Great video when you do the bolts right up on the control arm you should do it up with bit of lowed on it or at ride height. It stop the bash's from tearing. Just a idea. Thanks.
One of the best tools out there especially if your working on a lot of Honda/Acura’s. Not bad of the price either, with the time you save it’s worth the price.
Thumbs up. Good video. However, I wish you'd address the inquiries as to why you didn't torque down the control arm fasteners under load as several sharp viewers are pointing out. I'm curious about that as well.
Nice. Good to see the BP version in action. In an inverse of your exp, I’ve had to toss perfectly good poly bushings & use inferior ones that came with repl parts / kits b/c I didn’t have the right tool.
I dunno about this mate. If you remove the lower ball joint nut, you can have it on a bench. You removed the axle nut instead, same amount of nuts but more awkward. Also, it's easier replacing the lower control arm because the ball joints are riveted in. So if your bushing is gone here, your lower ball joint bushing isn't far behind. Also, if you buy the whole arm, you don't have to press anything out at all. Way easier and better value for money
One observation is that the hub should be lifted/jacked to make the control arm in the neutral position (when the vehicle is in correct/standard ride height) before tightening the rear control arm bolt. By not doing this, the rear control arm bushing may fail.
01 odyssey. At highway speed the van veers right when foot taken off accelerator. The steering wheel a actually ticks slightly left when this happens. Then the van corrects itself when accelerator is pressed again. And goes back to straight. There is tiny tie-rod play both sides. Tires have even wear. Van cluncks front left when accelerating after coming to a complete stop. Front and upper right motor mounts were just replaced. My nephew replaced both struts and springs about a month ago. Passrnger side vertical control arm bushing has some cracking. Van has 191,000 miles. All rubber suspension bushings were replaced at 135,000. Plus motor and tranny mounts.
Thanks for sharing. I was told by a mechanic that when you replace these bushings you must also have an alignment done on the car as well. You didn't mention that. Is that true? Please advise and thanks a bunch!
I don't have a Honda but after watching the video, it appears that the fasteners he broke are not adjustable so my guess is "no" on the alignment. However, I wish he'd answer the few comments from sharp viewers who noticed that he didn't torque down these fasteners under load as we believe you're supposed to.
Thanks for the video. Curious why this bushing seems to fail over time, but the other horizontal bushing doesn't have the same issues. At what point do you feel you should replace the entire arm with new bushings and ball joint vs. just replacing this bushing.
It depends on the people. Some people prefer original honda parts but a lower control arm is around $400 but the bushings are around $60 each so they rather replace the bushings only. Some people don't care about original honda parts and buy a new aftermarket lower control arm for $70.
Quick question. Can you replace bushings on all control arms? My Crosstrek needs bushings replaced it looks like it be a lot cheaper to just replace bushings than control arms
Eric you honda lovin know it all!! you sold out!!! I ❣️ IT keep up the great work Bud love the new shop also btw...quick ? My inner tires are wearing quick the alignment is perfect...compliance bushings not so much do u think I should start there?New oem struts also...
I'm about to do this for my Toyota Corolla, and watched your great video makes me nervous! hope all goes ok, will not be doing in the Toyota dealership, but CB, is very expensive as well!..
As always awesome video bro, I have personally learned quite a bit from you!! Thank you for turning me into a snapon fan!!!! I also want to thank you for giving me plenty of stuff to watch while the wife is on Pinterest 😂😂🤘🤘🤘
Cool video but did anyone else notice that big chunk of metal that came off @ 7:58? Will that be a big deal? I’ve been thinking about replacing my own bushings so I’m watching these videos.
Mr G tires start to wear in odd ways such as low spots and high spots on tread, that’s what happened to my tires before I replaced all bushing lower and upper arms
I think that the direction ball joint is not fixed right because the curvature of the ball joint axle goes always to the inside to avoid the wheel , correct if I am wrong
Nice video Joel! Just a newbie question, how to make sure you don't push the new bushing over the optimal depth? I'd like to do this on my 2002 Sienna. thank you!
Awsome video, my dealer told me yesterday that snap-on has a new brushless 18v 1/2'' impact out now , maybe you could ask Tyler and see if it is true thx keep rockin.
I really like the smarter way you remove bush (w/o any special tool). I could do it myself? Majority of nearest foreman here is doing most simplest work, either install complete new set of lower arm (or any arm with bushes) or send it to engineering machining shop to dismantle old and mount new bushes (off course owner bear for it with additional profit margin on this particular work).
Maybe not a big deal but I thought you were supposed to put a jack under the control arm to get the control arm at approximate ride height before you tighten the control arm bushings?
No The whole point of making sure it’s tied in with the load On it is for the New bushings to be pretty much set at the right height so they don’t tear in the long run. By doing it this way the bushings are not set to the right height so there’s tension being put on them from now on.Pretty much reducing the life of the bushings and probably gonna have to get done sooner than later because of it. So pretty much the bushings are being twisted because they were tiling all the way before the control alarm was at the right height of the vehicle went under load. It’s a simple mistake that could’ve been fixed if the mechanic would’ve taken an extra 30 seconds instead of just trying to get vehicles in and out for profit don’t know what kind of shop it is but I don’t suggest going to it.
@@luisfranco625890 the front bushing is horizontal so it doesn't matter on that one, but yeah your right on the back one, but wrong for the front bushing
I have a question I can see that the bushing u replaced in the video is the same i see in my honda civic but it looks damaged. When i drive above 60 mph my steering wheel starts to shake u think thats the reason why its doing that.
Wow, i got quoted $1,100 to replace the compliance bushings on my 2010 Acura TSX. That seems a bit excessive, being that this job appears to take less than 2 hours.
Uh oh, don’t let Schley Products see you using an impact on that! Eh who are we kidding, everyone just uses an impact and when the bolt threads are destroyed you just buy another bolt.
Every time I make turn at lower speeds I hear creaking noise. I replaced sway bar end links and outer tie rods. All Moog parts. Im Guessing it’s this little bushing.
Link to buy this bushing tool on amazon is in the description👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
The Snap-On Tool Review is that a crack in the frame?
👍
Link doesn't work anymore. Anywhere else?
@@supersabrosinho yes, Napa Autoparts now carries this tool as part# SER-68100. Hope this helps!
@@RacerXV23 thank you 👍
I like how you edited lower volume on the impact gun, nothing worse than having to adjust volume while watching. Nice extra touch.
Thanks man. Yeah I figured so too.
@Andrew Brickhill yeah lmao plenty of noise fixing a car

Shows you actually use the tools you review instead of some you tubers just buying fancy tools and never using them. Nice work!
I use all my tools. Thanks man.
This is awesome. Most videos just show how to replace this bushing by removing the entire control arm. This is way easier!
The first Eric video I ever watched was him vs. oddy door slider wheels ever since then I only trust Eric's videos such perfect attention to detail and camera placement all by himself bravo Eric bravo
shouldn't the forward bushing be tightened when the suspension is at ride height? thanks.
Wow. That's a nice work. With out taking whole
lower arm out u change the bushing. Bravo
The 3 inches of blood outro made me smile

It's much more for the whole control arm than just the bushing.
Nice and easy ... Bad ass snap on gloves you have there..!!!
Do you have to jack the wheel up to level before tightening everything
Might use this method for my Honda S2000. Thanks for sharing!!!

Which manufacturer product would you recommend for the lower contro arm bushings for my 2008 TL-S?
YES, Joel got to use his new pry bar.
Does this same method apply for the 2009-2016 with the vertical bushing in the aluminum holder? I am having a time breaking the ball joint loose.
Very good video one of the better ones I have seen very well done

I’m trying to find this tool cannot find anymore, there anybody knows where I can buy this tool thanks guys
Worked great thank you, 07 accord dident have to remove axle nuts.
I'm about to do this for my Toyota Corolla, and watched your great video makes me nervous! hope all goes ok, will not be doing in the Toyota dealership, but CB, is very expensive as well!..
Excellent tutorial, Joel!
VERY helpful video. Thank you so much for posting.
Not such a bad job to do
Wow you make this look so easy!! Why do mechanics say it’s more labor to replace the bushing then replacing the control arm?
Great video and with the tool you were using it was pretty damn fast thanks for sharing.
As always awesome video bro, I have personally learned quite a bit from you!! Thank you for turning me into a snapon fan!!!! I also want to thank you for giving me plenty of stuff to watch while the wife is on Pinterest 😂😂🤘🤘🤘
Great tool, saves time
Great video Joel!
Your "how to" videos are awesome! Thank you.
Thanks man.
Where did you get that bushing from? I only see ones with slits inside them.
How come u didn't tighten the control arm bolts on a load?
👍
Best vídeo to repair bushings
Cool video but did anyone else notice that big chunk of metal that came off @ 7:58? Will that be a big deal? I’ve been thinking about replacing my own bushings so I’m watching these videos.
Would you need an alignment after replacing just that bushing
I would love to have a tool like that
Other than a visual inspection, what are some signs that they need to be replaced? What kind of noises can they cause?
Mr G tires start to wear in odd ways such as low spots and high spots on tread, that’s what happened to my tires before I replaced all bushing lower and upper arms
If they tear all the way through you get clunking when braking, uneven tire wear, pulling and all sorts of fun stuff.
My control arm was hitting the subframe because the bushings were toast.
Nice. Dealer wants 2 grand to replace on my odyssey. I think I’m gonna do myself
nicely done! I must get one of those kits now! You made that look easy
The accord and TSX are even easier!
@@TheSnapOnToolReview do u have a video link to the accord one?
I think that the direction ball joint is not fixed right because the curvature of the ball joint axle goes always to the inside to avoid the wheel , correct if I am wrong
Hi !! Are any replacement bushings good? Thanks!
Nice video Joel! Just a newbie question, how to make sure you don't push the new bushing over the optimal depth? I'd like to do this on my 2002 Sienna. thank you!
Nice Video. Do you know if this on vehicke method works for 08 Toyota Solara?
does replacing control arm bushings help steering feel better?
Awesome video!
Can I use this tool for 09 honda accord?
No, the bushings are different size after 07
please dont let the dealer know this or they screw all other techs and cut the flag time. 😒
Nice compact impact gun you're using for this video. Who's the maker?
Omg this was an awesome video bring us more of these how to videos.🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Did you get the bushings from honda let me know thanks
Would the same procedure be for 99-04 odysseys?
I know it’s an old video but can you update the link on the bushing tool? It’s no longer available
Awsome video, my dealer told me yesterday that snap-on has a new brushless 18v 1/2'' impact out now , maybe you could ask Tyler and see if it is true thx keep rockin.
Oh I know its true. I've seen the specs and picture. but I wasn't supposed to say anything. but if your dealer has told you then yeah, It's coming!
Nice, and straight forward. Thank you
Great video, do you Pre load your suspension before tightening your lower control arms?, it helps in the life of the bushing.
The vertical bushing you don’t need to preload it. The horizontal one is the one that should be preloaded.
ya and you didnt preload either. and why not torque the bolts after?
Are these the new impact gloves Joel or the original ones ? And does that bluepoint kit only do honda or other brands ?
What is the minimum torque to put out and in? Can we use manual tools with long bar as extention?
Good job guy. Thanks for sharing
"No Impact" ... BRRRRRRRRT! BRRRRRRRRRT! lol
I really like the smarter way you remove bush (w/o any special tool). I could do it myself?

Slap-dash mechanic, unloaded suspension when he tightened the fasteners...

fixed one bushing ( that honestly didnt look too bad, still had some life left in it) to drastically decrease the life of the other bushing.
@@luisfranco625890 the front bushing is horizontal so it doesn't matter on that one, but yeah your right on the back one, but wrong for the front bushing
How does this happen, and how can you make sure it does not happen?
Could have used that when I replaced most of the front end on my daughter's car. Does that fit Nissan or slightly different?
How long did this job take approx? What is the cost for this job?
Excellent upload thank you
Where are you located ? California by chance?
What kind of noise does a broken control arm bushing make?
Can this method be used for a 8th gen civic? (2006-2012)
I have a question
I can see that the bushing u replaced in the video is the same i see in my honda civic but it looks damaged. When i drive above 60 mph my steering wheel starts to shake u think thats the reason why its doing that.
Is this the same application for 2004 odyssey? Thanks
I feel like I just watched a subliminal advertisement for owning an impact wrench.
Awesome vidoe brother appreciate it!
yeah I highly doughty my bolts will come out had to cut off the strut bolts may see if shop class can hit em with the torch
Does this bushing tool work for the 08 accord?
Do we have to torque it back on to a specific amount?
excellent video
Awesome time saving tip and tool thanks
Wow, i got quoted $1,100 to replace the compliance bushings on my 2010 Acura TSX. That seems a bit excessive, being that this job appears to take less than 2 hours.
Where to buy that special tools
Uh oh, don’t let Schley Products see you using an impact on that! Eh who are we kidding, everyone just uses an impact and when the bolt threads are destroyed you just buy another bolt.
oh the csx, one of the cars we didnt get in the us. I would love a civic si with leather but not in the usa
Perfection
Does this tool works for the other bushings on the low control arm too? The low control arm has two bushings.
No, but the other bushings aren't often an issue.
Link does not work, is there a part # or name for the bushing removal tool
I like how it said 'no impact' on the nut!😂😂 fair play Joel! Haven't got time 4 that shit! Great video as always m8!👍
Rob Devitt he didn't impact on the Nut
Very true. Haha
I’ve warrantied the Long bolt a few times. The threads thin out but it has a lifetime warranty on it so I don’t care.
Every time I make turn at lower speeds I hear creaking noise. I replaced sway bar end links and outer tie rods.
All Moog parts. Im Guessing it’s this little bushing.
Do more of these!!!!!!
I was thinking about getting one of these. Do they fit the SantaFe / Accent etc. control arm bushings as well?
I honestly think they are just a bit off in size.
