Talking Returing to Acura and this forum after 8 yrs with a TL

Hello Acurazine peeps,

Returning after 8 yrs after selling my 2.3cl with a 2004 TL 6 speed with 174K miles that I picked up yesterday. This will be my DD and am looking for some wonderful driving yrs ahead.

Will be looking up some lower control arm bushing replacement guidance....basically I juts want to replace the bushing and not the whole control arm...if you peeps know of any links or write-ups please guide me in the right direction...

Also, will be doing a complete fluid change, engine oil, tranny oil, coolant flush, brake fluid flush and maybe power-steering flush too.....keep the links coming guys......happy to be back...

Pics to follow.....

When you do the transmission's MTF, do yourself and your tranny a favor and use ACDelco Synchromesh Friction Modified; this MTF is a dramatic improvement over the Honda MTF in terms of shift smoothness.

You'll need about 2 quarts 10 ounces (i.e. 3 quarts):
