Sue, thank you so very much for all your amazing guidance, you have been tremendously helpful for a long time now - Thanks a million!
I really appreciated this video. As an upcoming female mechanic. Very informative. Thank you.
nice to have a lady mechanic, well done
It's the same on my 2012 Honda CR-V. The only difference is at 5:02. In this video for 2007-2011, the front mounting bolt is horizontal and 17mm. On my 2012 Honda CR-V it is two 19mm bolts mounted vertically. This actually makes it easier because later you don't need to lower the car before the final bolt tightening in order to compress the front bushing while in a neutral-resting suspension position. I used a wobble with my 12mm just like Sue did at 8:15. The castle nut is 19mm and needs a wrench, a socket will not fit. I just beat on the control arm with downward blows of a small mallet instead of using a pickle fork, however I live in California so rust is not an issue. I used the metal rod that's used to crank the Honda scissor jack to help me pry the new control arm into position. I started at the rear bushing and used a scrap piece of wood and hammer to tap small movements until the first bolt hole finally aligned. It took several minutes of grunting and if you're below average strength like me you may want a helper to get the new part on, however I had no helper so if I can do it then you can too. I couldn't find torque specs so I just copied Sue's.
I can't wait to replace my control arms (and struts) and get a much smoother and quieter ride on my aging '09 CR-V. It clunks and clanks over every little bump in the road and when I accelerate or brake, there's a ton of vibration at highway speeds, the steering is wandering all over the road, the tire wear is very uneven, the camber is way off, and the ball joints are about ready to completely fail and kill me. I'm doing this job Memorial Day weekend, and this video is fantastic! Excited to tackle this job.
Thank you for your training. I completed the replacement on my 2014 crv
Was it same as these years? I have a 2013 crv that needs lca done
I have this exact year CRV. Planning to replace worn bushes on the lower control arm , struts and sway bar links and bushes this weekend. Thank you for this excellent tutorial Sue
First time I see a mechanic lady, she work good
+Edgar Hernandez Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Great video! I'm about to replace both lower ball joints. This helps me to have the right tools. 😊
That swivel socket for that one tough to reach nut is extremely intimidating. I have to replace a control arm, ball point, and sway bar link.... not looking forward to it, but driving on cobble stones in the city is driving me mad.
Clear, concise instructions, thanks very much.

Great video.How many mm does the internal diameter of the chisel measure?Thank you in advance
Always torque to spec with the suspension loaded.
great job , Thank You.
Dont you have to have the car on the floor before tightening the bolts? I hear the bushings will tear, or up in the air is fine ?
Awesome video,,,,THANKS!!

How do you remove the bushing bracket off the control arm?
Amazing
after changing it you have to do alignment?
Is it better to change only the bush or it's better to change the whole thing??
When do you need to replace the control arm, vs just the bushings?
Also works with 07-11 Acura RDX
+Wilson Freeman Thanks for the tip!
Hello does this apply to the 2012 as well?
Nice 👌
Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com +Josue Pineda
without grease before mounting the old screws !!!!!!!
Is an alignment required after this?
How do you know when the control arms need to be changed?
I have a creaking noise coming somewhere in that control arm. What could be causing it?
+Tempus Fugit We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Shouldn't you have lowered the car on the ground and tightened the bolts to spec afterwards? I'm guessing the bushings will twist once the car is lowered and will rip apart in a very short time
+P8lite Work Yes, always double check the torque when finished
@@1AAuto Hello, where can i find torque specs? Thank you for your videos. This mechanic is superb.
+a woods We do go through some torque specifications in our videos however you can also take a look at the repair manual or forums will also have torque information for various repairs and vehicles.
@@1AAuto Yea Yea you should do video correctly, double check on the movie, not after. Car must be on the floor with wheel and after tightened bolt.
Is it necessary to perform an alignment after performing this procedure?
+Barry G An alignment is necessary after changing any steering or suspension part.
When you tightened up the bushing nut, once the car is on its feet, you permanently strain than bushing in the car’s neutral position, greatly reducing the life of that bushing. You have to jack the assembly to neutral then tighten this bushing. The other side is already right and has brackets so it will not be strained in its neutral position. Mechanics do this all the time. Makes me wonder if the schools teach this at all.
Yes, you want them tightened at ride height with weight on the vechicle. Ride height may be off if not and ride like garbage

What is the reason the control arm needed replacing?
Bushings wear out/split.
Wheels kinda choose where they want to go and steering will not be accurate
Wrong reinstall process. Before tightening the screws, the fork must be in working position!
My dealership is asking $600 just to replace the bushings.
Its looking like I'm paying.
