BAD upper rear ball joints (pics)

[88Accord-DX]

I knew that I had some negative caster in the rear from lowering my car. Well, I decided to check it out a couple weeks ago. I came to the conclusion that it's time for rear upper control arms, cause they where shot. So, I bought a pair. I had a hell of a time getting one side off & couldn't believe one side didn't fall out !! I had to use a cut-off tool to get the nut off one of the ball joints, it was rusted solid to the ball joint.
Here is a pic of the ball joints. One is so wallered out, it just falls out the socket. Looks like some porn stars snatch.

[MessyHonda]

makes me want to change mine out.

[russiankid]

Makes me wonder what mine will look like when i take them off.

Reminds me that my suspension is crap and needs to be wholly overhauled.

Mine looked just like that!

when ever the rear would move it would make a loud CREAK!

Mine broke whiel I was driving 70 mph. Didn't cause me to loose control or anything but it was not fun.

Yeah those things seem to have a habit of sucking. I replaced both sides of those and I had to use a cutting torch to get both of them off. Like really Honda, I know how hard it is to invest in galvanized nuts and such, but good thing those weren't near the fuel line.

Looks like you were on the verge of a catastrafy, Im glad you got it before it was to late.

Looks like some porn stars snatch.

I had no trouble getting mine off. Took me only a few minutes on each one.
