Important Service Tips
When replacing the control arm on a 2015-2009 Honda Pilot, the steering knuckle tapered sleeve may become seized to the ball joint stud, causing a visual difference between the old and new parts.
It is essential to follow the factory service manual for removal procedures, as a special tool may be required to retain the sleeve in the knuckle bore while removing the ball joint portion.
If the sleeve needs to be removed for re-use, it must be separated carefully using penetrating oil and a three-jaw puller, and inspected for damage or corrosion.
Mevotech Supreme control arm assemblies feature an anti-corrosion coated ball stud to reduce the potential of seizing.
Important Reminders
Always refer to the factory service manual for correct diagnostic procedures, component removal and installation methods, and fastening torque values and procedures.
Use a calibrated torque wrench for final fastening.
