New Control Arm from 1AAuto.com trq.video/ia-1...
This video shows you how to install new control arms in your 2003-2007 Honda Accord. Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear. When those bushings run out, that can have a negative impact on the ride and safety of your vehicle.
This repair was done on a 2006 Honda Accord EX 2.4L Sedan 4-Door FWD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2003 Honda Accord
2004 Honda Accord
2005 Honda Accord
2006 Honda Accord
2007 Honda Accord

Great step-by-step directions and video. Thanks very much, would not have been able to get this done without your instruction. As a New York vehicle, ours was a bit tougher without a professional level impact gun and a ton of rust and corrosion on an 03. Would not do it again lol, but definitely can see how it’s worth it to a car with less rust!

[@FredQuann-vs1qh]

Excellent instructions in every respect. Thank you TRQ.

[@raymondperea8352]

@TRQ How long would you stay it takes for both side replacing

[@Mushroomancer]

I can really relate to those corroded wheels, mine too exactly the same

4:29 was a spider released into the shop??

My axle nut is bigger than 32mm.07 accord V6

Gracias

[@honkbob]

Look easier than just replacing the bushing?

[@iamasmurf1122]

you did not need to remove the drive shaft centre nut ? why the hell did you do that LOL

[@presidentcamacho]

I thought the same thing, but I also think it is to keep the cv axel together without doing damage as the arm swings into place. I also think it may fit without having to swing it in place. When I do this to my car I will find out and post an update.

[@honestnewsnet]

I was quoted 800.00 to replace both control arms and this includes front end alighnment. Is this reasonable?

[@kongxiong6005]

I have a question and I hope you can answer it. I've done a wheel alignment on my car and my car will go straight if I hold the steering wheel straight. As soon as I let go of the steering wheel it will turn slightly right then my car will turn right. There's nothing wrong with my tire pressure. Do you know why my car is doing this?

[@Clarity5970]

My lower was so rusted I needed to resort to a saw-all in order to get this out.In northeast everything is completely rusted making everything completely seized nothing comes apart like yours did.Its not a easy job at all.Including the strut yoke.

[@JamesJones-k9o]

What should a shop charge for this? Year 2024. Every thing is pretty high now

[@SashaNem]

thanks guys

[@JC-ES]

Excelente video

[@thepunisher2156]

That spider was trying to be famous on camera lol

[@donniev8181]

Bolt and nut sizes are different on the Honda Accord, rear bolt is actually a 12mm I believe.

[@lyndelld1]

Is it difficult without a lift?

[@craigmerrill2156]

Strut fork will not line back up
