So i ordered a set of bolx lcas and i was wondering if anyone could tell me if the hole for the lower shock bolt has a nut welded on the other side like the factory lca does. I want to get new hardware for these but dont want to buy the wrong stuff. Thanks.

Ok thanks, im guessing a grade 8 nut and bolt will do just fine then

i would just go to honda and get new lca bolts, cause trust me u will want them haha, i messed up a few of mine and had to run out while doing my suspension, it was a pain

Take his word for it, you always break one. Then you have new ones that are not rusty

Thanks guys im definately gonna replace all of them. Ill see what they say at the dealership.

Thanks, yeah i have a friend who works at a honda dealership, he can usually get me his discount. I tried to do my suspension the other day but that one bolt was so frozen that i kinda rounded off the head. Id rather spend a little more for new lcas and hardware than try to drill it out and tap it. Bushings probably need to be replaced anyway. It seems like that bolt being siezed is a common thing.

Just the ones on the lower control arms, from the picture it looks like the blox lcas have new bushings in them.

acake em1

yeah your blox lcas will have new bushings, so u shouldnt need to replace control arm bushings, even though some ppl will tell u blox bushings are crap, i havent had issues with mine yet

Cool, well thanks for setting me in the right direction, hopefully things will go a little easier this time around.

acake em1

they are pretty simple to do, its a matter of whether u "f" up the bolts or not

good luck man

Pb blaster and time is your friend when messing with those bolts.

Snapped every bolt but 1 on my friends da

I always here people saying horrible things about blox bushings, but at the same time i hear good things. I have noticed a trend though, People that have issues didnt preload them, i have seen people that preloaded have problems though.
