Q: How do you remove and install the radius rod assembly on Honda Prelude?
A: Before you start the removal the radius rod assembly, turn the front wheel Lug Nuts half turn counter clockwise, then lift the vehicle and make sure the vehicle is safely in air before you unbolt the front wheel and the tyre completely. On the next step, remove the radius rod self-locking nut from the front subframe and then the two bolts fastening the radius rod to the Control Arm after which you have to remove the radius rod assembly. In terms of installation, it is recommended that the silicone grease is applied on the front radius rod bushings, the larger bushing on the front part of the subframe and the smaller bushing at the rear part with the small end of the bushings facing outwards. The washer is then fitted around the radius rod and the sleeve before the radius rod is passed through the bushings on the lower subframe. After that, apply the new front radius rod washer, and in addition, use a new self locking radius rod nut tightened by hand only. Next go ahead and reinstall the radius rod-to-control arm flange bolts and snug them down to 76 ft. lbs. Torque the radius rod bushing bolt to 103 Nm and then to 40 lb.ft. (54 Nm). Lastly, reverse the steps that you have used during lug nuts removal and make sure that they are tightened to 80 ft. lbs. (108 Nm).
