    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.

    • @May16Joe
      @May16Joe Год назад +2

      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.

  • @s34nvideos
    @s34nvideos 3 года назад +6

    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

    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.

    • @luisfranco625890
      @luisfranco625890 4 года назад +5

      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.
