 and the way to fix it? <crosses fingers> |
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist, then remove the front wheel from the appropriate side of the vehicle.
2. Remove the lower control arm from the vehicle. Refer to page 18-19 of the 2001-04 Civic Service Manual.
*NOTE: Use the Ball Joint Thread Protector (T/N 07AAF-SDAA100) and the Ball Joint Remover (T/N 07MAC-SL00200) when disconnecting the ball joint from the lower arm. Do not use a hammer to loosen the ball joint.*
3. Mark the position of the arrows on the old compliance bushing onto the lower control arm.
4. Using a hydraulic press, the compliance bushing driver, and the compliance bushing receiver, remove the old compliance bushing. Discard the bushing.
5. Clean the inside of the bushing mating surface on the lower control arm.
6. Align the arrow marks on the new compliance bushing with the marks you made on the lower control arm. Using a hydraulic press, the compliance bushing driver, the compliance bushing receiver, and the spacer ring, press the bushing into the arm. The bushing will stop when it contacts the spacer ring.
7. Install the lower control arm onto the vehicle. Refer to page 18-19 of the service manual.
8. Check the wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary. Refer to page 18-4 of the service manual.
