Had time to put on my camber kit today. Ran through some problems. I installed everything except for this.



I loosen up the nut for it but it won't come off. Lol. Do I have to do something else?

hoadinh504

Like I took off the nuts. But it's like still attached or hard to come off.

Some times the bolt rusts to the sleeve inside the bushing try soaking it over night with rust penetrant loosen and tightent it several times bang it around with hammer, worst case cut the bolt on both sides of the sleeve and get a new bolt.

hoadinh504

hoadinh504

Oh shit...

That bolt was part of the knuckle, right? Not a loose one that goes all the way through?

That's the other side.
Damn this sucks forreal. I was planning to bring it to my mechanic shop bout a few min drive but too risky.

hoadinh504

And looks like the bolt can even come off. It's like attached to the thing. Ahhhhhh.

Dude that's crazy for a 2 year old car to have a rusted bolt snap like that.... definitely over torqued it.

hoadinh504

Yeah I know man. I think I did. Damn. But do I have to buy a whole new knuckle? Or should a mech shop be able to fix this.

iSeeYouTwo

A good shop should definitely be able to get that screw out and fix it....

hoadinh504

Hope so. I been to my mechanic shop with every problem I had with my previous cars that deal with cutting and welding and everything. I didn't even know that screw can be taken off. But we'll see. Dropping my car off at the shop tomorrow. Hope I make it there, like a 3 min drive.

hoadinh504

Can that bolt be taken out??

hoadinh504

Went to my mechanic shop today. He told me to bring it by his house because he can fix it at his house for cheaper. He always does this for all of my cars. He has a little garage where he works on customers cars for cheaper than the shop would charge lol. But anyways, he said that bolt should be able to come out. Just gotta take out the nuts and bolt for the other part. Then this bolt should jam out. But it doesn't look like it can come out that easily. But I don't know, ima have to bring it to his house later

Good luck dude

mannn! that's crazy!

hoadinh504

Lol I know right. Damn. My cAr is at my mechanic house right now. Hope nothing too serious!

That sucks that is pressed into the knuckle and not sold seperatly.
It comes out easy just hammer it through, could try to find bolt that
fits the hole but will it fit the controll arm ????
you could take it to a good tig wlelder and weld a new bolt end on the old stud
or get a new knuckle, not cheap
Sorry

Wells my mechanic does have a lot of junk cars. And it mostly hondas and acuras. I hope he can find a bolt like that.

hoadinh504

Would 09-12 accord knuckle assembly be the same? If so I think I could use the bolt off there at my mechanic junk yard shop.

SinCityTLX

Holy Shit man!!!!! How tight are you making that stuff. If you are not experienced with car mechanics you should take it to a reputable shop.

I thought maybe it was just a stud (threaded on the knuckle end too and it would screw out), but Honda doesn't even list (or show) the part separately. I'd be curious to hear if it comes out (though it went in, so it must, it may just be a question of how much damage you do to the knuckle getting it out).

hoadinh504

Update** I got my car back yesterday. It drives fine now. Man so happy. lol. Wells i was thinking when my car was at his house, I thought about the accords will have the same knuckle assembly as us and the mechanic shop has a lot of junkd accord all in the yard. So i told him go back there and find an accord and try to see the stud is the same, and it was. And he fixed one of my wheel stud too, it was stripped. So everything okay now!

sounds like you need to stay away from the tools...

hoadinh504

lol no i dont think i did the wheel stud. I believe one of my friend did it cause i got my car back from his house after he fixed my installed my coils and that wheel stud been kinda stripped ever since.
