Moog. Don't mess with anything else than maybe OEM Honda 'bend over & take it, with the price ball slapping on your ass.'

[Vanilla Sky]

MOOG!! they're all i'll use unless i'm dead broke and need the part replaced right NOW. never had a failed moog. i've seen pretty much everything else from parts houses fail in 10,000 miles or so. everyone i know that's had experience with trying to find a joint that lasted in their car ended their search when they installed moog balljoints.

i bought my moog lower ball joints for 30 bucks a pop

[LX-incredible]

Moog. They come with polyurethane boots, so they last. That last set that I bought were made by meyle, or something like that. Joints were quality, passenger side boot split after 3 or 4 weeks.

[HondaBoy]

looks like i will be going with the Moog ones, Honda is a little expensive with those parts.

[alboy86]

quick question which way loosens the cv nut im trying to get it off and i wanna make sure im pulling the right way

[nswst8]

Counter clockwise to loosen. Its a standard thread. Use a good size breaker bar I usually use a 3/4" with either 1 1/4" / 31/32mm socket. Keep the tire on the car leave it in gear w/ e-brake on and don't jack up the car before loosening the CV axle nut.

[alboy86]

sweet cause im puttin all my effort into it and it aint coming out

[MessyHonda]

i used the jack pole as a breaker bar...also make sure the lil part where its dented is straight to take it out

[alboy86]

:Owned: ya i think i just need a bigger bar to get more leverage i gave up for now i think my upper arms are worse anyways the lower one is bad but it still has some grease in it and the boot isnt flat
