Rear upper control ball joints 5th gen

stinkypaul · Post by **stinkypaul** » Wed Dec 09, 2020 4:37 pm

Does anyone know the part number for the rear upper control ball joints on a 5th gen? I wanted to buy an arm but they are hella expensive, so I'll give changing the balljoint a go, but I can't work out what to order. Can anyone help please?

no part listed - looks like its integral to the arm. Whether you could get it separately others will comment.

Thanks. Honda didn't sell it separately, but I know a few people on here have pressed the old ball joint out and replaced it. I just don't know which ball joint to get

If you like I have 2 OEM ones which I took of my lude. They are in very good condition & probably better than any replacement. If you necessarily want go for new one, This number should fit:
Moog HO-BJ-3290. If you want, I can go & double check measurement for this number

Thanks Stefan, much appreciated.

I'm going to give some new ones a go. I think your part number is correct, but I'm going to try it and I'll report back on this thread.

From what I've found out (but I'll check), and for anyone searching the forum in future 4th gen and 5th gen upper balljoints:
4th gen: 33mm front and rear
5th gen: 35mm front, 33mm rear

These are some part numbers for the 33mm ball joints:

febi bilstein 26276

QUINTON HAZELL QSJ3283S

MOOG HO-BJ-3290

ADH286149 Blue Print

Starline 74.46.711
617600019

I've ordered a couple of them to check/try.

HI

Has anyone had any issues with fitting 33mm rear upper arms. Both ball joints I have just slotted in and there 33mm diameter. To loose for my liking.

I've been meaning to add to this thread. I ordered some of the part numbers above and they came as 35mm.
This one was correct though: febi bilstein 26276
33mm
Mine pressed in tight. I used the circlip but didn't feel like it needed it

i will have a look at these. The ones from firstline are 33mm but just push in!!! and the circlip is 2mm off and the ball joint can turn and move up! Completely useless!

did you press in a 35mm one?
