2003-07 Honda Accord Front & Rear 8 Piece Suspension Kit TRQ PSA56329

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

Hey everyone. Sue here from 1A Auto and today we have an '07 Honda Accord in the shop and we're going to be doing front strut assemblies. If you need those parts or any other parts for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1aauto.com.

19 millimeter socket to loosen up the lug nuts. Now I'm going to raise and support my vehicle with my two-post lift and you can use jack stands with a jack.

And now we're clear to remove the tire.

14 millimeter socket. I'm going to take the lower strut bolt out. Make sure you pre-spray to help yourself for a smoother job. The threads on this go through the wishbone. There is not a nut on the other side. The pinch bolt has to come all the way out because of the actual strut itself has a indent in it for where the bolt lines up through the wishbone. So don't think you're going to cheat it and just loosen it up and see if you can slide this out. You won't be able to.

17 millimeter wrench and 17 millimeter socket and we're going to take the wishbone bolt out.

Just take a hammer and tap it out. So now I'm going to remove the wishbone from the bottom part of the strut.

Perfect. Now we can lower our vehicle and undo the top of the strut bolts and slide her out. Now we've lowered our car so we can access the top of the strut. There are three 14 millimeter socket style nuts and two 12 millimeter socket nuts. These do have to come out. Our new strut from 1A Auto comes with the actual all five nuts so we don't have to reuse the old ones.

We'll leave that one on because now the strut's going to feel ... want to drop down.

That's the great thing about this being at this height now. I can reach in with one hand and hold the strut and take this top one off. Take the last nut out.

Now, you can see that there's no, not much room to get this strut out, so at this point I'm going to strongly suggest we undo the top nut to the control arm. Just make your life a little easier. You're moving the upper control on ball joint castle nut. I got to discard the old cotter pin, see if she can come out without breaking.

Beautiful. We discard that because we got a new one. 17 millimeter socket and we're going to take off the upper control arm castle nut.

Now I'm going to hit this right here with a hammer and that ball joint will pop right out of the knuckle.

10 millimeter socket. We'll take this mounting bolt off the control arm. This little nut that holds the AVS wire on. I normally would have done that before. I just forgot. Now you can move the knuckle forward and guide the strut out.

Here we have our new front strut for an '07 Honda Accord from 1A Auto and here we have the actual factory strut. Now you can see that they're same style. The one from 1A Auto has the same keyway and the notch for the bolt. Comes with new bumpers and cover, strut assembly, strut's springs are the same size, same amount of coils. Strut cap, comes with a new strut cap and it comes with five new locking nuts. If you need this part or any other part for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1AAuto.com.

So I'm going to line the strut cap with the two bolts that go for that cross member bar and then the cap studs themselves. So I can try to get this to go up in there. The front here.

Now I lowered it so that I can hopefully hold the strut and and thread onto the bolts.

The new size of the socket for the new stretch nuts is a 15 milliliter. We're going to snug these down, then we'll torque them to spec. And the two nuts that go on the little cross-member bar is a 13 millimeter socket now. So the three strut mount nuts, three identical ones, are 37 foot-pounds, and the two cross-member nuts is 16 foot-pounds.

Now we're going to reattach the wishbone on the lower strut. Make sure we line that up best we can. Got to find that notch. The only problem with, you might need a mirror so you see the keyway. The torque specs for this lower strut bolt into the wishbone is 32 foot-pounds.

Now we had to take a pry bar and we'll just prying it into the wishbone like this so that we can turn that lower part. so it lines up with the control arm.

Now we can line that up for the bolt to go through. Might need to take a hammer and tap it. Just give it a little fine tuning. I'm going to actually take my punch that I used. See if I can do this. Let's see how far up in the side away off. So we'll take the pry bar and twist it the same time. There we go.

17 millimeter socket. We're just going to snug that right down. Then we'll torque it to the manufacturer specs. 'K that's snug. I'm going to get my torque wrench. Low wishbone bolt that goes through the lower control arm is 47 foot-pounds. Now we're going to attach our upper control arm to the knuckle. Take them ... Here we go. Here we go.

Do the upper castle nut for the control arm ball joint is 35 foot-pounds. Now let's see. Well the keyway is right there for the actual cotter pin. This will also help me know if the stud is turning while I tighten this. Nope. A little bit more.

So you can see I went past the torque, but that's because the cotter pin didn't line up with the hole and you have to go tighten, never loosen to get the cotter pin in. I used a new cotter pin that came with the upper control arm. Slide that right in to the side hole. No.

So what's happening is the control arm is in the way of the length of the new cotter pin. So I'm just going to manipulate it down and that way I don't have to ... there's only one hole on this ball joint. I would have to take the whole thing out to turn the stud. Here we go.

Last is the ABS bracket. It lines right up. There's a little mounting hole for the bracket. Let that guide sit right in there. That's a 10 millimeter socket. Tighten that down.

Now we're ready to put our wheel back on.

I'm just going to snug them up by hand and then I'll lower it down on the ground. Let the weight of the vehicle on it, and I'll torque the wheel to 80 foot-pounds. 19 millimeter socket. We're going to torque the wheel to 80 foot-pounds in a star pattern.

Double check.

Now we're going to repeat the process on the other side.

Hi. I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

Hey, everyone. Sue, here, from 1A Auto. Today, we have an 07 Honda Accord in our shop, and we're going to be showing how to remove and install the front sway bar links. If you need this part or any other part for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1AAuto.com.

19 millimeter socket to loosen up the lug nuts. Now I'm going to raise and support my vehicle with my two post lift. You can use jack stands with a jack. Now we're clear to remove the tire.

14 millimeter wrench, I'm going to break that nut free and then of course it's going to spin. So I'm going to have to hold the inner part of it. There is an Allen head right here, but there's no way I can get there from that wishbone. I can do it on the top one, but not on the lower. So I'm going to have to hold the inner piece of metal with a pair of locking pliers.

Make sure you can get your wrench out. There we go. I'm going to remove the upper swivel link to the sway bar. 14 millimeter sock wrench again. See how much we can get before it starts to spin. It's spinning. Okay, so we'll put some locking pliers on the back just like I did on the bottom. See if I can hold that firm.

Wonderful. Now we can remove the sway bar link from the actual linking control arm. I'm going to just take a pry bar and see if I can pry that free.

To install the front sway bar link, it's just basically two reverse procedure. I like to put the sway bar link into the top of the sway bar first. The new nuts are a 15 millimeter, not a 14. It still has the Allen head in the center, which is a five millimeter Allen head.

Now I'm going to put the lower one in. Start the nut. With the wishbone in the way, I have found that it's kind of difficult to put an Allen head in there and hold that. So you're going to have to use a pair of the needle nose vise grips like I did to remove it just being careful, not pinching the new boot, using a gear wrench, ratchet wrench. I'm going to snug that pretty much as tight as I can get it because I'm going to end up torquing it.

Now I'm going to start the bottom. Put a pair of locking pliers on there, needle nose locking pliers. See if I can catch it without pinching that boot as careful as I can be. I'm going to put a longer wrench on here to tighten this because obviously I can't get a torque wrench in there. The specs for this is 22 foot pounds.

Now I can put a torque wrench on the top. So we're going to torque this to 22 foot pounds. Okay. Now we're ready to put our wheel back on. I'm just going to snug them up by hand then I'll lower it down on the ground with the weight of the vehicle on it and I'll torque the wheel to 80 foot pounds.

19 millimeter socket, and we're going to torque the wheel to 80 foot pounds in a star pattern. Double check. Now we're going to repeat the process on the other side.

Hi. I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

Hey, everyone. Sue here from 1A Auto. And today on our 07 Honda Accord we have in the shop, we're going to do rear sway bar links. If you need those parts or any other parts for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1aauto.com.

19 millimeter socket to loosen up the lug nuts. I'm going to use a two post lift to raise my vehicle. You can use a jack and jack stands at home. Now I can take my 19 millimeter socket, now that I've raised it up, I can remove the lug nuts to take the tire off.

Rear sway bar links, 14 millimeter wrench. I'm going to place that on the top link on the nut. My nut, and it's a five millimeter Allen head socket that goes right in the center of it. I'm just going to give it a little tap right in there. I pre-sprayed but I'm going to spray again cause of the weathering element. See if I can make sure there's no rust sticking there. Okay now I'm going to put my ratchet on there.

Let's see if we made enough room that we can actually put a pair of locking pliers in the back there. And then we'll use a socket. Now I have a pair of needle nose locking pliers and there's a metal lip, washer flat side on the other side. Once I loosen it up enough, I can grab it with these and lock this down. Now I can put a socket on there. And that's just the top. Got the bottom to go.

Okay the lower sway bar link, we're going to do the same thing. Just have a little bit more room to work with. I'm going to put the locking pliers on there. 14 millimeter socket. Marvelous, look at that.

Here we have our brand new sway bar link from 1A Auto, and here I have the manufacturer's one I just took off our 07 Honda Accord. It's still the original equipment by the looks of it and you can see their design. They put the Allen head and a little flat washer there. With a 1A one, puts a space for our open end wrench and the new nuts. They're both sealed units, non-greasable. If you need this part or any other part for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1aauto.com.

Now we're going to reinstall our new rear wheel sway bar links and we're going to install the one of the bar first. Start the nut. Now we have the freedom of moving it back and forth, nut down. The inside bolt hex is a 14 millimeter open end wrench, and the outside is a 15 mm. So 14 mm on the inside, that open-end wrench. And 15 mm socket. I'm just going to snug them because the torque specs is 29 foot pounds. So I'll snug that one and now I'll get to this one.

So I'm going to torque them now to 29 foot-pounds. Now we're just going to repeat the process on the other side. 19 millimeter socket. We're going to torque the wheels up. The wheel torque on this particular model is 80 foot pounds. Make sure you do it in the star pattern, criss-cross and then double check.
