- left front upper control arm ball joint assembly on A 2000 Honda CR-V , the ball joint can be replaced independently however we opted other wise since the bushings appear to be weathered, the process is similar on the Right front, with the removal some additional components not shown in this vid, Hope you enjoy
thanks! I fixed my 2001 CRV with the same parts by watching this vid. All your tips really helped.
Had a little trouble with that upper ball joint castle nut, rusted and corroded, not enough left to grab. Ended up soaking overnight in PB blaster and using a 17mm "grip tite" socket. Came right off.
I need to be doing mine soon for my 2001 as well. I think i need to replace my inner tie rod too, i’ve got that knocking sound...
Enjoy your videos ... a suggestion: When replacing any ball joint, after loosening the castle nut on the ball joint stud, I always screw the nut back on a few turns. This controls the action on the control arm and the assemblies it attaches to after you break the tapered stud loose, saving strain on hoses, sensors, etc.
to prevent a balljoint from spinning while tightening (or loosening) place a jack under the lower arm and lift enough to apply some pressure to the entire assembly. usually works that way
Nice to see the pro back in action.
Thank you sir, its good hearing from you, hope the New Year is off to a good start and all is well
Great instructional replacement video man! Excellent video editing showing exact application of tool usage. Shows the viewer the process of removal and installation of all the bolts and nuts! As my cousin would say: "This fella here knows his mechanican, HUH!" :) Thank you for taking the time to share so I can attempt to do this myself with some extra help of my cousin since I'm disabled. The money i'll save by diy will help out my cuz too! So that's at least 2 more people your good deed has helped!

Another great video and a perfect job.
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment and feedback
Excellent video !
Excellent information thanks
Great video Will! Thanks!
Thank you for the compliment
Great camera angles and excellent lighting, good audio too. Another winner, Will. Did you replace the whole upper arm because it's less trouble than trying to press in a new bushing? Or, is it an availability issue, like windshield wipers?
Thanks for all the compliments and feedback, I can't take all the credit but will pass it on to my lovely assistant ;) sure helps having an extra hand at times.
We had options however the whole assembly was only $46 upper bushings included, the bushings were showing sings of weathering, as far as time it's pretty much the same either way if all goes well, in addition an alignment being necessary after replacing the outer tie rod, these were all taking into consideration when presenting options A vs B the owner opted for replacing all, like a $20 deference said and done
your vids are so helpful thanks ☺
Your welcome, thanks for the compliment :)
Good taking and doing
Great education - thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your time and video.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, God bless you.
Great video - thank you!
Good job Will ! Thumbs up man..
+ShawnMrFixitlee thank you its appreciated
GOOD VIDEO, i HAVE TO DO THIS EXACT SAME JOB TO A CRV SUNDAY.
SUPER !
@2:56: You can invert that castle nut, screw it back on a little (until it's flush with the end of the stud), and then whack straight up on the stud with the hammer.
I agree with the others, great video.
Thank you for the compliment and taking the time leaving feedback, it's appreciated
Thanks for the video.
Your welcome, thanks for stopping by
good lookin dude thanks a bunch
nice!! another good video !
Thank you I appreciate the feedback
Great video!
Should of put anti seize on the inner tod threads it makes it easier for alignment 👍
I did exactly What you did. But I just replaced both upper control arms But now my crv has a firm bouncing issue when going over bumps and does not like hard turns. It feels firm in front suspension in general any ideas?
Gauge167 I have the same problem. any luck on why its stiffened?
I like your method for getting the alignment as close as possible to how it was before. How'd it come out?
Thanks!
Excellent video. What brand is the new ball joint?
Where did you buy the upper control arm with ball joint? I can't find it listed anywhere, not even on the Honda parts websites.
Will you damaged the inner upper arm bushing if you tighten the screw 1st before letting the jack down?
Hi, Thanks for the video. I have a question. How did you keep the nut on the inside of the control arm bushing from just free spinning when you took it loose and when you re-tightened the bolt though the arm? I'm getting ready to do this same job. Thanks
For all you guys who said you did this yourself, can anyone give me an estimate as to how much you spent on everything you needed to replace the ball joints because I have a 98 CRV and the front end is starting to creak and pop so I'm thinking it may be time to replace my ball joints
Just bought upper control arms for $58 on carparts.com delivered for our 2000 CR-V. Outside a cotter-pins, that's all I needed. I didn't grab the most expensive control arms seeing we're over 200,000 mile - so use your better judgement. Some of the parts offered form this resource are pretty cheap, but you get what you pay for. Love the CR-V. It is a good vehicle and it's easy to work on.
@@thenite187 yes ,get a decent quality ball joint and control arm .I replaced mine and within two years they were shot.I couldn't believe it.learned my lesson,don't buy cheap!
Another informative video. Good to see you doing well. Is that a T8 LED light tube you rigged up to light the wheel well? Did you make it or buy it?
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback, I'm not certain of the dimensions guess T8 would be about right, at around 1" diameter this one came setup with a cord pre attached, stumbled across it at Walmart in the lighting section, I believe it was meant to be used under a counter, being LED at a reasonable price I figured what the heck lol works out pretty well, It has hanging options that came with it, I use the short cables, then in the next isle over I found magnetite hanging hooks, using something soft under it while not under the hood, I need to come up with a safer alternative for painted surfaces, no issues yet but know that I mentioned it I better lol hope that answers the question
+robinsonsauto, cool. I'll check that out. I need a good under-hood light and this seems perfect. Thanks for the tip.
You could try those little felt pads you put under chair legs for using the magnets on painted surfaces maybe? Or a small clean towel/rag in-between the magnet & paint?
+Pet Rock's Garage clean towels work well, I like the other option as well, has me thinking now, it's the brightest drop light used to date, just wasn't made for it lol but guys like us will find a way
+robinsonsauto, very true... Make due with what you have available mentality.
+robinsonsauto, any chance you have the manufacturer and part number? I’m having a hard time finding the light on walmart's web site. Thanks...
Good vid, but when is America going to convert to the more accurate metric system of measuring, feet & inches is so antiquated.
Whys it always that side??? Is it cause of the drivers weight ???
Hey Will. Just curious how many miles on the old Honda?
Is that a Harbor Freight ratchet?
You should wear a gloves my friend ....nice job
Soha nem a racsnis kulccsal húzzuk fixre a csavart!!😭
I did my wife car and I had to heat up the inner cause she was rusty
