Default DIY Request: '94 Accord Rear Upper Control Arm Replacement

Hello,

I'm looking to replace the rear upper control arms of my '94 Accord LX soon, and I was hoping for someone to create a tutorial for it? I've watched tutorials on how to replace the front control arms, but I'm not sure how that process will apply to the rear control arms.

Any help at all is greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance!!

Check the shop manual of the 94 accord. The online manuals thread in the DIY section has a link for it.

The rear arm probably isn't too difficult. You may need to remove the shock/strut assembly to make enough room to remove the upper arm.

Thanks for the info! Does it matter if I use the Accord Coupe shop manual with my sedan? I couldn't find any other version of it.

The coupe manual will have almost everything you need for the sedan.

Flange blots torque to 28 ft. lbs. and the castle nut torques 29 to 35 ft. lbs. so that the slots lines up for the new cotter pin.
