need new LCA bushing, but where to look?
Hey guys,
I need to replace at-least 1 of my bushings in my rear LCA (passenger side - rubber bushing mating LCA and Shock). Its worn away and is causing a clunking noise when I hit bumps in the road. Where do you suggest I look online can I look and be fairly assured I'm getting the proper busing(s) for my 92 EG8 at a reasonable price?
So far the sites ive checked aren't very specific or don't have anything at all. I am shooting for some of those polyurethane bushings.

go to passwordjdm.com and buy the omni rear lca (sold in pairs) it like $100 or so and replace both of them. It will save you alot of time and stress in the longrun.

I'd say with this note and the part numbers it contains, yes you can be fairly certain you're ordering the correct parts.
NOTE: The 16-8102 & 16-8103 are sometimes referred to as the center bushing on the lower control arms. The bolts that hold the shocks onto the lower control arm are usually frozen/rusted on the lower control arm. They are difficult to remove and you will usually destroy the rubber bushing surrounding the bolt, when you attempt to remove the shock/strut.

That looks like a really sweet deal, looks like it would be easier to deal with too possibly, but I am also not sure how involved just replacing the bushings would be yet.
The downfall of that LCA kit is that it uses Rubber bushings, they don't last forever and are not an improvement over OEM, which is why I am looking at polyurethane bushings.
