Should you replace the bearings when CV joint on a 1994 Honda Accord?

It is generally recommended to replace the bearings when replacing a CV joint, as worn or damaged bearings can contribute to premature failure of the new CV joint. The bearings help support the weight of the vehicle and allow the CV joint to rotate smoothly, so if they are worn or damaged, this can cause vibrations, noise, and reduced performance.

In most cases, it is necessary to press out the old bearings and press in new bearings when replacing a CV joint, so it is usually more cost-effective to replace them at the same time.

Additionally, by replacing the bearings at the same time as the CV joint, you can help ensure that your vehicle will perform properly and safely for as long as possible.
