  1. Suspension, Chassis & Brakes
    Picked up a 2006 RSX Type S that was wrecked on the front passenger side. Did some pretty good damage to the wheel and lower control arm. I decided to swap everything out on that side to be safe and have already swapped in a new subframe. The issue/questions I am running in to pertain to the...

    Good day folks. Does anyone still make a CV joint that can be replaced on my RSX? I remember from other front wheel drive cars that the joint was replaceable. Thanks in advance.

    The old suspension has a tapered hole where the tie rod would drop in at. The new coilovers don’t. It sits higher than the old setup. Here’s a pic. Any comments? Is this normal ? Am I missing something ? everything ive seen says these should be plug and play. the tie rod ends definitely dont...
  5. Suspension, Chassis & Brakes
    Hello, I have an 05 RSX base and needed to replace the lower ball joints. I ordered 05 base RSX ball joints AND lower control arms because the arms weren't in the best shape either. So as I was going to replace the ball joints, I realized that the new ones had a diameter that was too small to...

    Hi guys, i have a 2006 rsx premium and when i start from a complete stop or come to a complete stop there is a clunk/popping noise coming from the drivers side wheel well. My guess was that it is the ball joint. I took it to the mechanic and he confirmed that it is the ball joint that is going...

    Does anyone know why Honda chose to use a larger ball joint stud for the 05-06 DC5?
  8. Problems & Solutions RSX
    So I've noticed that this forum has quite a few solutions to finding ball joints for the Acura rsx, but I've come across some issues. I'm new to cars (About to turn 20) and I do not want to purchase the wrong thing. Pretty much my front lower ball joints are shot, but all the answers I'm finding...

    I just blew a left lower ball joint and I am being told by everyone that I have to purchase the entire knuckle. I saw BC sells some balljoints... but my car is not lowered. My car is completely stock suspension. Is there anything I can do to not have to purchase the whole knuckle? Will the BC...

    I've looked through the DIY list and tried a search, but I can't find anything on just replacing the lower ball joint boot. The shop manual appears to assume that the knuckle is already out of the car when it gets to the boot replacement. Are there any directions on replacing just the boot with...

    So I went to the Honda dealer to get a quick point inspection and they said that I needed new front lower ball joint boots. Looked at the boots on mine and they're pretty messed up after 172k on them. Question is, how do I even replace the boots on the ball joints? I've seen plenty of videos...

    I tried to tie the axle up when removing the knuckle during dis-assembly.. but I was too careless (and alone) when trying to re-assemble everything and I'm fairly certain I popped it. I monkey'd with it a bit trying to get a feel for "its out" and "its in" but I'm really not sure. Everything...

    Wadup fellas, I wanted to share with you all a ball joint replacement part number that I hope will help all of you for when you replace your ball joints. After ordering tons of ball joints and comparing I finally found them and they're identical to the AC Delco 45D2206. Now, I bought these from...

    I can't find any kind of guides for our cars to replace the front ball joints. Do you need to take the axle nut off? I tried standing on the end of my breaker bar and that bitch won't move. Any info is helpful :wavey:
  17. Problems & Solutions RSX
    So... I have a stuck ball joint. I tried the ratchet trick where you stick a ratchet between the steering knuckle and the lower control arm, I've tried lifting the car via the stud on the ball joint, I've tried hitting the lower control arm with a 4 lb sledge, I've tried the pickle fork, I've...

    Hey CRSX, I have some stuff I'd like out of my basement. Here's the scoop. The driver fender is OEM fender that I believe is VBP with a hole for a JDM marker, I had it on my front end for a little bit and it fits perfect. It has some minor scratches and blemishes in the paint. 75 obo Willing...

    So recently had a PLM header and a cat back exhaust mounted. Just got my car on a lift and noticed the the 2 verticle long bolts/nuts are missing that hold the slip joints together. Does anyone know what size they are? Im shocked my header didnt fall apart. Ill probably replace the allens with...
