If you have a base model then the only way to replace the front lower balljoints is a new steering knuckle THIS IS THE ONLY WAY HONDA SELLS IT for a base model. And you will probably also have to replace the wheel bearings too because 99% of the time removing it from the old knuckle to transfer to the new knuckle will damage it. If you have an SH model there are TWO front lower ball joints on each side, and they CAN be replaced without purchasing a new knuckle. TypeSH FTW!!!

The rear axle is another story BOTH THE BASE AND SH have to buy a new knuckle if the lower balljoint goes bad.
