You sir need a helms manual.

Pretty sure you can download a pdf form one on hondahookup.com I downloaded the DC2/DC4 one a few weeks ago.

Might help if you tell us what car you have

Very good detailed drawings...I use them all the time.

 

Snapped some quick shots of the Integra, not sure what you're driving but I'm gonna assume its a Honda/Acura of similar design.


A rear view, tried to get as much in as possible.


Focusing on the driver's side. Not that the Trailing Arm is not totally visible in this pic, its blocked by most of the LCA and shock assembly, but rest assured its there somewhere. Upper control arm not visible.


A bit closer view of the rear driver's side, with the TA portion circled in red, but the remaining portion is shown in detail in the following picture. Upper control arm still not visible.


To ***** out this picture a little more... that is the trailing arm, #3. Upper control arm is either #1 or #7, not positive, but in any case its not the bushing, but the arm.


A tricky view; imagine you were laying in the street and I had just run over your neck with the driver's side tires.. you are now looking up from under the rear tire.


Onto the front.


Inadequate shot of the front suspension, I couldn't get a very good view of the upper portion due to the camera being too bulky, and not enough light. For the upper control arm and the rest of that strut piece, see below pic.

Not my pic, but the UCA (upper control arm) is illustrated here at the top, joining that longish part that I don't know the name of, illustrated in the previous picture.
