Replacement Honda CR Lower Ball Joint Removal

2008 honda cr ball joint replacement

The creaking is coming from either the shock ,ball joint, or a-arm bushings. Have someone with you and one person pushing up and down, the other, safely feeling each component till the vibration can be felt. If it is in fact the ball-joint then as long as it is safe (not loose), then just add grease to it as needed and it should go away.

just need to get a ball joint splitter , pronged shaped device that you hammer between the ball joint and control arm ,after stripping down the assembly, little tip, when fitting new ball joint apply slight pressure from below when tightening the nut , this will stop the joint from just spinning , i usually use a scissor jack for this

You most likely broke a tie rod. You should see two points where your ball joints fit in. Probably still attached. You will need a ball joint removal kit, new tie rods, sweat and tears to get the old ones off but very doable.

if its the bolt that attaches to the spindle thats the lower ball joint u will need to jack up and support vehicle remove the wheel you will need to support control arm with a jack and decompress spring and chain or secure for safety reasons so it doesnt shoot out and cause injury cut or drill out the 4 rivets that hold the ball joint in place [if it is a pressed one will need to buy or a lot of auto stores will let you borrow a ball joint press]replace with new done ---if the bolt is the one attached to the frame need to do same set up and remove old and replace but the bushings are what will slow u down a bit while replacing

Hello, If the underside of the part has some large flat rivets on them, these will need to be chiseled or drilled out. Look at your new part and see how the joint fastens to the lower "A" frame. They usually has several bolts which draw and attach the new part through the bottom.

Call the autoparts where you rented the tool and see if there is a tool for removal. Sometimes the tool you have will have attachments to do both in and out.

Not much to it,
remove wheel,remove axle nut,remove bolt and nut that pinch lower ball joint in place,it will either be an 18mm or a 21mm,pry lower control down to detach and separate ball joint,tap CV shaft in where you took the nut off,
hold out on rotor assembly while pushing CV shaft in ward,When you have the CV out of the bearing and rotor assembly,Tap inside CV joint out of transmission.

you can buy a new lower control arm but the cheaper way out is you can buy a new ball joint for about $15 and cut off the rivits holding the old one and bolt on the new one in place with the supplied hardware hope this helps also a airhammer make quick work of rivits please rate -jeff
