LCA bushings worn bad - need advice on replacing
front end still shaking after tie rods were replace, checked my ball joints and LCA to find that my LCA bushings are completely worn to the metal on the passenger side and the ball joints to them are bad too. i need to know when i go to replace them, do i just need the two bushings and the ball joints or do i need all the bushings [ compliance is the 3rd i think. ] i dont think the compliance is worn like the rest of them.
oh and is this kit worth the money? is it all the bushings for both sides or just one??

i apologize for my noobness, im just getting into working on cars, so my knowledge on them is minimal.

The lower control arm kit will have the front inner, rear inner (compliance?), and upper control arm to body bushings. It won't come with the lower shock bushings though.

Re: LAC bushings worn bad
I had the ES poly bushings and they work really well. People in the suspension forums don't like poly bushings much. They say they don't last long, however i have never had any problems with mine. The few poly bushings i have left are pushing 7 years old and perfectly fine.
You have some other options as well.
Hard race, mugen, OEM, etc. I personally use the Hard Race and really like them and will recommend them. Hard race does sell kits for just the front A arms.
Seriously though, hit up the suspension forum and start reading. All you questions and options will be fully explored there.

Re: LAC bushings worn bad
i was gonna do the moog route, but advanced is expensive. and i guess i could amazon them, but itd just be cheaper to do the bushings and ball joints cause my a arms are in good shape still.. oh and its a 93 civic dx coupe. i just want a lca and uca bushing kit for both fronts. and then all new upper and lower ball joints and tires and im praying that it fixes my front end shaking and LOUD *** rattle.
BTW, i have cheezy ebay coilover sleeves on them with stock shocks, should i take them off and get some stock springs and new shocks soon? could that be contributing to my shaking and noise issue?
