Hey all, new years eve and the above mentioned ball joint came loose. I found the replacement part from CFL, wondering if anyone has either experienced this or has any tips on the replacement procedure.

Happy new years to all!!

I had to replace both rear ball joints as it was regular wear and tear my mechanic had discovered during routine maintenance. I imported the ball joints via Hardtopguy.

Can't tell the difference between when it was worn and when it was replaced but I'm glad I did it anyway.

I'd keep an eye on the other side as I'd imagine they'd be in similar condition?

I had a look at the other side auzora it's fine mate. @ Irvin, u sure u just got the ball joint? Cfl Honda only sells the whole upper control arm assembly together with the ball joint, and after inspecting the wear on it it appears that I will need the whole assembly. Would like to know if anyone has had a shot at replacing it before
