Hi, I'm going to give this a go over the next couple of weeks; any hints or tricks?

Hi Del, did you remove the steering wheel, or manage to get enough clearance with column to change the rack? I'm debating changing mine, but when the manual starts talking about steering wheel removal I get a bit twitchy!

Well, I found the time to replace the driver's side this afternoon. Not half as emotional as the passengers side! I cracked the hub nut using a 3/4" drive socket and a 4' breaker bar! After that it was pretty straight forward- remove strut fork and the anti-roll bar link, undo the lower ball...

Ps. No fluid lost at all.

So, slightly emotional first session! I attacked the passenger side first and got as far as undoing the hub nut before things got complicated! Had to resort to the angle grinder to slice through the hub nut and the end of the shaft to remove the nut. Once that was done, the lower ball joint was...

I got blueprint shafts from an eBay seller- £240 delivered. They look fine and came with hub nuts (£11 I needn't have spent at the Honda garage!)

I must admit that it has crossed my mind that it's not the drive shafts, but I've changed both upper and lower front wishbones, arb bushes and drop links, I've also swapped the front and rear wheels and had new tyres fitted and balanced. There's a definite clunk when you go from engine braking...

Will do- I changed the gearbox oil about 5000 miles ago (in the hope that it would have an effect on the transmission clunk) so I was planning on draining the gearbox and reusing the MTF after putting it through a 5 micron filter; what are your thoughts?

Thanks so much; great to hear it's not too bad a job. I'll take a few pictures and write a how-to (***uming it goes ok!). Thanks again.

Magic; and you just gently tap them back in?

Brilliant, thanks. No issues removing the shafts from the gearbox?

Hi All. I have the vibration under acceleration described in lots of posts here and have decided to bite the bullet mans change the drive shafts. Has anyone got any experience of doing this job?

I had a go this weekend. As advertised, it was a pig of a job (bit more than 1.5hrs) but it's done and my steering clink has gone! I wrote an instructable. Link here. http://www.instructables.com/id/2004-Honda-Accord-Front-Anti-Roll-Bar-Bush Hope it helps.

Ps. Sound quality is excellent. I get pretty rubbish radio 4 (getting old, I know) reception on my way to work, but I can stream via iplayer radio and I would say that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the streamed quality and a DAB radio.

I might be a bit late in the day, but I bought and installed the HONDA WIRELESS BLUETOOTH STREAMING HANDSFREE INTERFACE last week and have been ver impressed. I've got the non-nav accord (54 plate) with the premium sounds system. To install I didn't have to take off the dash above the head unit...

Magic. Thanks Jason.

did you ever get this sorted? was it as painful as the workshop would suggest, or could you manage just dropping the frame a bit?

Hi all, This is my first post on the new forum; I've done a quick search for similar problems, but can't see anything. I had my diesel injection system timing chain etc replaced in May under the warranty claim that was a common topic on the old forum (thanks very much!). As my Accord had done...
