hi there,
i just had my gsr lowered yesterday, and i found that the rear right lower control arm is not the right one.
It is just NOT a GSR lower arm. It doesn't have the screw hole to have the rear
anti-sway bar attached. so the anti-sway bar is hanging down there.
obviously, i am not the first owner of this gsr.
anyway,just like to know where i can find a right rear lower arm asap.
does a type r arm fit? anyway, i just need one.
if anyone has an idea or you have one, pls let me know.
thx a lot

 

Don't order the ITR lca unless you plan on changing the other lca and your rear struts to ITR parts. I'd stick to the GSR lca if I was in your position.

I've ordered new GSR lca's from http://www.ahmotor.com as well as some other places. About $60 each.
If your wanting a used lca from the junkyard, a GSR, DelSol Vtec, or 5th gen Civic EX sedan lca will work.

 

should i get the lower control arm?
or the Lower Control Arm Assy?
what's the differnce?
thx

 

Is this also considered the Lower Trailing Arm? Where the wheels spindle connects?

 

Rear trailing arms run along the length of the car and directly connect to the hub and brake assemblies. Rear lower control arms (lca's) run along the width of the car and connect the trailing arms to the rear frame crossmember.
You want to get the lca's instead of the trailing arms.

Chi@1001: I'm guessing that by asking if you should buy the lca or lca assembly; the lca assemblies probably come with the bushings. The lca's probably just the lca minus bushings. Buy it with the bushings unless you want the upgrade your car with poly bushings.
