Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 1986-1989 Honda Accord, rear upper. This is a press-in suspension ball joint, so proper removal and installation tools are required. Inspect the surrounding control arm and mounting bore before installation, and verify stud taper, thread pitch, and hardware fitment during assembly. Because this part is non-greaseable, routine inspection of the dust boot and joint condition is important during service intervals.
