$67 from www.hondaautomotiveparts.com , $105 from your friendly Honda dealer, or there have been some one ebay lately for pretty cheap (around $35 or so, I think). Don't forget the castle nut and cotter pin

Make sure all your other joints are ok. Don't forget what I went through!

Had the same few months ago. Got the warning, that metallic ping, and the rubber boot was broken but I ignored it.

I bought both rear upper arms ($107Can ~ $68US/each from H-dealer) although it turn out that on the other side where the boot was intact, the joint was quite good and tight. Definitely buy the castle nut and cotter pin!

Sounds like parts prices aren't that bad. But, did you guys fix the problem yourself or take to a shop?

Do not buy the control arms from Ebay from a seller by the name of POKOMONDO. I paid $50.00 via Paypal and I haven't received diddly squat. Complete FRAUD!!! Buy them somewherelse other than from this seller on Ebay. Paypal was able to retrieve $10 for me but that is all. I've filled with the Ebay insurance service.

Replace the bushings and the control arm/balljoint. Strarts from $40 and up per side.
