Replacement of Front Suspension Link

Model: Honda CR-V MK 1 - Years 1995-2001
Part: Control arm

The link connects the anti-roll bar to the front suspension arm and consists of a metal rod with two ball joints at its ends: due to the significant stresses it undergoes, the spherical joints tend to wear and develop play, resulting in noise.
Replacing them is extremely simple and can be done without lifting the vehicle on a hydraulic lift. To remove them, block the ball joint shaft with an Allen key to unscrew the retaining nut; the same operation must be performed to tighten it. It is also advisable to replace both links, i.e., left and right sides.
