About to start mines soon. Just rewatching this to feel comfortable😂

Just bought new aftermarket lower control Arms what do I do about the sleeve? Can I just install new 555 ball joints?

Its always easier to press the ball joints in when they have been in the freezer overnight. Also did u have to rent a honda adapter on top of the ball joint press kit? Gonna be doing this job before the month ends. Thanks for the video

Why did you have to use the old ball joint sleeve?

@Mythik559

2 жыл бұрын

When the sleeve comes out of the lower control arm you have to put it back it not repose come out so I have to knock it off the ball joint and put it back into the control arm

That sleeve is part of the lower control arm. It is impossible to find a replacement. I called multiple dealers and they do not even have a part number to order one. They recommended we contact a junkyard and go pull one. I am trying to order the entire lower control arm just to get that part but not all control arms come with the sleeve.

Is that sleeve on 06 honda accord v6mt6 sedans?
