Honda CRX Ball Joint
The Ball Joint is one of the most important components of suspension and steering system of Honda CRX vehicles, used to link the control arm with the steering knuckle. This component can rotate freely in two planes thanks to which the vehicle reacts to road surface features and the input from the steering wheel. Usually used in steel body, the Honda CRX Ball Joint consists of a bearing stud and socket, which is covered by rubber boot for the sake of preventing touch of dirt and allowing lubrication. The Ball Joints used in Honda CRX models may also be of loaded or unloaded kind. The loaded Ball Joints take the weight of the car whereas the unloaded or follower Ball Joints are only responsible for the orientation of car though they do not carry loads. Like any other joint, Ball Joints wear over time because of use, and lack of lubrication they show signs such as noise, and abnormal tire wear. Upgrades of this type are available, ball joint inserts, and complete control arms are tunable for higher level handling, and upgrades.

Honda CRX Ball Joint Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you check ball joint play and perform maintenance on it on Honda CRX?A: To check ball joint play, raise and support the front of the vehicle on jackstands, then clamp a dial indicator onto the lower Control Arm with the indicator tip placed on the Steering Knuckle near the ball joint. Use a pry bar between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle to work the ball joint and check for looseness; if the play exceeds 0.5mm, the ball joint should be replaced. For lubrication, remove the screw plug from the bottom of the ball joint and install a grease nipple, then lubricate with NLGI No. 2 multipurpose type grease, remove the nipple, and reinstall the screw plug, repeating for the other ball joint. For removal and installation on 1984-87 models, safely support the vehicle, remove the wheel and tire assembly, and then the steering knuckle. Pry off the snapring and remove the boot, followed by the circlip. Use a suitable ball joint remover/installer to tighten the ball joint nut, position the remover base over the ball joint, and press it out of the knuckle. To install, place the ball joint in position by hand, use the remover/installer and installer base to press the ball joint in, and then reinstall the remaining components in reverse order, tightening the ball joint nut to 32 ft. lbs. (44 Nm).
