Replacing the lower ball joint on a 2013 Honda Crosstour EX-L V6 4WD.
This information may apply to other Crosstour years.
We decided to replace the lower ball joint on our Crosstour because we started to get a clunking sound as we drove over bumps or dips, even pulling in and out of our driveway. We also started to get a squealing and creaking sound when we turned, which is another indicator of a bad ball joint.
Specialty Tools:
- Ball Joint Press
- OTC 6653 Press Adapter Kit
- Pickle Fork
- Rubber & Steel Hammer
- 36mm Socket
- Torque Wrench
- Breaker Bar / Impact Wrench
Torque Specs:
33-38 ft/lbs --- Upper Ball Joint
58-65 ft/lbs --- Lower Ball Joint
40 ft/lbs --- Tie Rod
242 ft/lbs --- Axle Nut
37 ft/lbs --- Brake Caliper
80 ft/lbs --- Brake Caliper Bracket
80 ft/lbs --- Lug Nuts
We wanted to share our experience with replacing this part because we love our car, and there is just not enough information out there about the Crosstour. We did purchase a Haynes manual in hopes that it might help us along; however, they recommend taking the car to professionals - but, we have the tools and the ability to do it ourselves! Of course, if you don’t have the tools or experience, we also suggest taking it to a professional to replace.
We hope this video helps! If there is anything else you might want to see with the Crosstour, please let us know!
