Default yet another LCA bushing ?

All,

My 05 EX Sedan w/ 45,000 miles has developed the dreaded "thump," audible during low speed bumps, that points me towards the LCA bushings.

From searching, it appears that many feel that the PCI LCA Spherical Bearing, like the ones available from CLUBRSX, are the way to go.

My question is, "Is there anything else that should be replaced at this time? Will this mod have any adverse impacts to rest of the suspension components? The info that I'm looking for is similiar to the "If you replace the rear anti-roll bar with a beefier unit, you should upgrade the end links too." At this time, I feel that all of the other front end suspension components are sound...

Thanks in advance.

You really won't need to upgrade all that much, to run the replacement bearings. If you were riding extremely low, then that'd be an entirely different situation.

toyomatt,

I'm running 100% stock as this is my DD. So... what is "all that much" in terms of upgrading?

Guess my question is, "can I just replace the OEM LCA bushings w/ the PCI Spherical Bearings w/o any other mod and be good to go...?"

Again, thanks for the info... This site has been very helpful.
