I recently got a 90 civic dx that has some suspension problem that I thought was due to a broken LCA but come to find out it's not the LCA it's where the LCA bolts to the steering rack. So my questin is do I have to get a new steering rack or is it just a tie rod end that bolts between the LCA and the steering rack?

 

there is no connection to the steering rack and lower control arm.

 

I think its # 20 that bolts to the lca and its broke right after the nut at the end of the lca, whats the name of that part?

 

#20 is the inner tie rod end, which connects to the outer tie rod end.

LCA stands for lower control arm, -not pictured here- and:

what are you talking about? there is NO LCA, lower control arm, in that picture. #20 is the inner tie rod. #25/27 is the outer tie rod.



#6/7 is the lower control arm, LCA.
