Re: Squeaky noise when I drive
Did you only change the lower ball joint or the whole control arm too. I took my car to a shop today to get it checked out and they said both front lower ball joints are torn at the boot so I should replace the lower control arm since it comes with the ball joint. He said if I replace the ball joint I can't do it without bending the control arm. Is this true I should just replace the whole lower control arm and ball joint? I have a hard time trusting mechanics since they could just lie to make money so I need your guys input haha I looked and it is torn though. Just dont know if i need the whole unit or just lower ball joint.
Also they said I need to replace all of my motor mounts. Which one are the mounts? http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=ACCORD&catcgry2=1999&catcgry3=2DR+EX+%28V6%29&catcgry4=KL4AT&catcgry5=ENGINE+MOUNT+%28V6%29
how many mounts are there? 4?

That's how it was when my lower ball joint was busted. Here's a picture of my drivers side lower ball joint, which I noticed it also needs replacing. Can't see it in the picture but I removed the wheel and raised the car and upon visual inspection I noticed a tear in the boot. I've been hearing a light squeak also.
