I just recently bought a set of used TEIN HA's for my DC2. I also had to buy some ITR LCA's in order for the rears to fit on my 94 GSR. Now my question is, which side is which? I think I know, but I just want to be sure before I go and do my install. (i've also tried doing a search but the search function is being wierd today, or atleast right now)

ALSO, since these TEIN's are used, the threads look a "little" coroded/rusted. Are there any types of products I can use to clean the threads up? Also, the locking perches seem pretty snug that I cant even move or loosen them up to adjust the ride height...any tips on going about this?

Thanks in Advance peoples!

 

You can wire brush the threads with wd40 and wipe clean. As for which side is which I have no clue.

 

thanks for your input..gotta dig through my tool chest to see if i even have a wire brush....

how about loosening up the 2 locking perches? Theyre pretty snug on all four

 

They actually have L and R on them.. when I bought from dealer not too long ago, it was marked with L and R. ...at least I remember it that way.

Anyways, here's an easy way to tell. IF you have the ABS lca's, there will be a point where you mount the ABS line to the arm. This will be on the side facing the rear bumper. Kinda confusing but I hope u understand.

I think I know what your talking about... I'll check again when I get home from work! thanks again for the replies so far

 

put some liquid wrench on the threads. Get it nice and juicy. It might sound weird, but try giving it a quick turn to tighten the locking nuts. Then try undoing

 

yea they have a L and R on it but if now the NUT onteh sway bar attach slot in on the fwd half onthe LCA
hope that helps
