Some Honda Pilot owners report experiencing issues related to torn compliance bushings, also known as lower control arm bushings. If these bushings break, it can lead to significant problems with the control arm, axle, and ball joint. While pressing out the old bushings and pressing in new ones is a cost-effective solution compared to replacing the entire control arms, the repair process requires careful steps, including the removal of the old control arms. After the replacement, owners must ensure proper installation by reinstalling the wheel, lowering the car, tightening the compliance bushing end nut, and verifying torque on all fasteners. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial for maintaining the proper functioning of the suspension system.
