i need to know how much to torque the upper balljoint in the rear of the car.

 

i dont have my helms on me, but a 1/4 turn past stop is all you need....

 

22 ft lbs.

 

^^is a crock of crap

36-43 for the tie rod and lower
29-35 for the upper

straight from the helms

 

don't worry matt, that guy is a honda certified technician... he REALLY knows what he is talking about, you should listen to him.

<---Wonders why championshipwhite93si won't stop posting shitty info....

 

wonders why my shop manual says 22 ft. lbs....

 

what manual do you have?

 

40ft lbs says my manual, gags is right

 

I just replaced mine (drivers side upper) and just torqued it down by hand, not too tight. I called every single Honduh stealership here and they gave me a range from 20lbs to 80lbs and another just told me to torque it down by hand.

So much for Honda mechanics.

 

honda shop manual says 22 ft lbs. my helms says same thing as mgags7. haynes dont make one so i cant check there.
