i have lowered my 96 accord. on the uppler A arm where the ball joint is pressed in when i hit a bump it shoves the arm into my fenderwell causing the ball joint to pop out. any suggestions of how to keep that from happening?

 

Unless you've got that '96 radically lowered, this should not be happening. I suspect the ball joint may have been replaced prior, and the ham fisted #$@%% used heat on the control arm to loosen the ball joint (and thereby ruined it.
You might try tack welding the joint to the arm, but next time around you'll have to go for the control arm AND ball joint.
I don't know how much you lowered it, but there seems to be a general consensus that anything greater that 2 to 2.5 inches is the max the fifth generation Accords can tolerate.

 

You can replace just the ball joints b/c a lot of camber companys call for it .. but you need a machine shop to press them out and in. Its bascially just a machine that can press with like 500 tons of force if needed .. heating with a torche is the ghetto way and has the potential to cause problems with fitting the new product in securely ..

 

ya, my buddy used my sn to post this topic up so i guess ill reply for him. he replaced both the upper A-arm and balljoint about 3 days ago since his old ball joints were shot. the new arms are shaped a little different then the stock arms so it rubs in a different spot then before and when the arm stops the balljoint keeps going and gets poped out. He got them welded in today and it seems to drive ok. I also didnt think he should be having this problem especialy since it not lowwered that much, its on eibach sportlines and dropzone shocks

 

sounds like hes using the wrong arms
