At New Gen Mechanical Pty Ltd, we take pride in providing thorough and effective solutions to our customers' vehicle concerns. In this case study, we examine a 2004 Honda CR-V that came to us with issues related to worn front lower control arm bushes. The customer highlighted concerning noises from the front of the vehicle and uneven tyre wear, which pointed to potential handling problems. Our inspection revealed the root cause, and we implemented a comprehensive repair plan to restore the vehicle's performance and ensure a smooth, safe driving experience. Read on for a detailed overview of how we addressed the issue.

The front lower control arm bushes were very worn, leading to knocking noises and significant tyre wear. 

The customer reported a noise coming from the front end of the vehicle and excessive tyre wear. 

Upon examination, it was discovered that the front lower control arm bushes were completely torn. This was causing the vehicle to handle poorly on the road and contributed to the uneven and premature wear of the tyres.  

We replaced the front lower control arms, fitted four new tyres, and completed a wheel alignment to ensure proper handling and even tyre wear.

Discover how we resolved knocking noises and tyre wear on a 2004 Honda CR-V by replacing worn control arm bushes, fitting new tyres, and performing a precise wheel alignment for better handling.
