Replacement LCA Bolts and Bushings?
well, the bolts get at the dealer. the bushings i would also, but you need to get those pressed in. did u break one of the bolts when taking it out?
well tomorrow im planning on soaking the seized bolt with pb blaster and going at it with some air tools and bust out a torch. but it WILL be man handeled out. so im gonna get some replacement oem bolts and i heard about some urethrane bushings.
and some dude on team integra said this but i dont really understand what he means maybe i gotta take a look under first.
if you try to take the lower strut mount bolt out and find that it is seized in the bushing, simply take the bolts out of either end of the lower control arm. now you can remove the strut and lower control arm as an assembly. swap your spring, and reinstall. this is a lot easier than replacing bushings. the worst you may run into is having to disconnect your abs speed sensors in the hatch an routing them inbetween the strut and lower control arm to remove the assembly. i'm a technician at a dealership and i can't count how many cars i've done this way to save guys the cost of replacement bushings. hope this helps someone.
