Default Control Arm

I've been told by to different mechanics that I need a new front upper control arm. What does it take to replace it myself? Is it really that difficult?

well it depends on how mechanically inclines you are. For me, when i changed my whole front suspension it wasnt hard. i think all it is, is 3 bolts. But im not sure if you will need an alignment, but probably.

he was being sarcastic. In a round-about way he's trying to get the point across that you should list the year and model of your Accord.

If your cruise control works, the VSS is fine.

If the speedo doesnt work, the odometer won't work as well.

I replaced the VSS and the circuitry on the back of the speedometer and it solved the problem.
