guys i ordered a set of lakewood traction bars for my ek hatch...this is the correct set because all the part numbers all match up to my bars and for my car...in the instructions is says for me to remove the bolt that is on the front side of my lower control arm, the one other than the one attached to the strut fork...well i do not have that bolt that they tell me to remove....now what? do i drill a new hole? i have no clue and it is very frustrating.

this is a link for the instructions on installing them....look at figure 1. this will show u what i am talking about....

ANY IDEAS!!!! thanks for the help

 

no you don't have to drill anything just remove the bolt and rebolt it back with the supplied L bracket.

 

yes i know it says to remove the bolt, but it says to remove the bolt that is not attacthed to the strut fork, besides the bolt on the strut fork....i do not have one? i have no clue?!

 

you should have one. you see how your lower control arm is 2 peice. you will want to use the bolt used to hold the other half of your LCA together. Its the closest one to the shock fork.

 

yes, you have to back up about 2inch and you see another bolt that attached to lca. cause the lca is made up of 2 pcs.

 

this is a pic of my lca...which bolt????

 

ne one

 

there should be a bolt about 2 inches, but looked at your pic there isn't one there! what year is your car?

 

its a 97 ek hatch with 99 si lower control arms....

 

well you have to send them back and ask for the set for 99 si. or you can switch to an 98 ex.

 

it might be the wrong kit for the car then... that is some weird sheit mang

 

well i ordered them from eric at titan....he has these forsale in the classifieds, and the are supposed to fit ALL civics 92-00

yes it will fit your car with stock lca not the 99 si though. well that is false claim. can you ask for a difference set or money back? or you can find an ex lca. why did you swap out for si lca anyway? cause you want front sway bar or something?

 

well i thought they would fit...he did say 92-00 so i guess i will have to talk to him and find out...
