Hi all,

I have a 2006 Accord EX V6 with 125K, and was told by the Honda dealer that my bushings for the front lower control arms needs to be replaced. I also hear a weird noise from the front end when driving. Honda suggest replacing the ball joint also.
Would it be best to replace with OEM or aftermarket parts? I was looking at Moog but dont know how reliable they are.
I also want to replace all four struts being that they were never replaced and some are leaking. Should I go OEM or aftermarket for the struts?

Thank you all!

 

Honda OEM parts are difficult to beat on quality, however some parts are pricey.

Note, compliance bushings can crack and still be quite functional. Many shops want to replace bushings at first sign of a crack. Look for separation from sleeve and part missing for replacement candidates.

good luck
