Anyone can throw me a link where would be the best place to buy one. And what brand
Acura is obviously like a golddigger girlfriend wants to sell me a complete lower control arm for over 400 bucks

The whole control arm has to be replaced. Check out rockauto.com

I don't get this why design aluminum suspension and not make replaceable ball joints? completely unreasonable move...

thoiboi

Yeah sucks but what are you gonna do?

fuzzysig

act a fool... lol

buy a TSX next time lol


I own 3 of the crappiest cars ever to find spare parts for

98 Toyota t100
95 del sol vtec
and now the 05 RL all 3 are pretty much the bastard childs of the family and nowhere to be found for parts
very annoying lol.

if it wasn't for the lack of used spare parts and complete lack of aftermarket parts the RL would be an amazing car.

To be completely honest, with the worldwide sales numbers on the RL, aftermarket support is hard to justify... With the lower control arm, the balljoint is a part of the whole arm. Rockauto has an aftermarket one, or you could try the online Acura dealers and save yourself a couple of dollars that way.

What's the noise?


Vibration could be axle related

fuzzysig

Axle usually during acceleration

Mine is vibration on the freeway and humming
But wheel bearing has no play in it
Only thing i found was lower balljoint. And ireplaced that.
And the shock also just in case.
Tire looks brand new

Vibration on the highway could still be an axle, unbalanced wheels, maybe bent wheels?


​​​​​​​Humming usually = bearing
