Anyone have a step by step layout on how to remove the rear LCA's. I dont want to do move that i shudd have to. Thanks All.

 

It usually helps when you give us a vehicle make and model kid. Either way, there are three bolts you have to remove and possibly a swaybar endlink bolt on each side as well. Prepare yourself for broken bolts and headaches.

Also, you can look it up and stop being lazy. There are tons of how-to's and walk-throughs on this subject.

 

Thanks the car is a 97 honda civic hatch. And i did a search but i didnt find anything. I'm not trying to be lazy..

 

there is no hidden catch in that job. Just take off the 3-4 bolts, remove arm, put in new one, put bolts back on.

The bolts will most likely be seized to death on there. Be prepared to cut them off and put new bolts on.

i would spray some pb blaster, or wd-40 and let them soak alittle before starting the job.

 

just a few bolts dude. but beware, such a seemingly easy job can turn into a huge pita real quick

 

also helps to have an impact wrench and torch. (heating up the bolts will help break the rust free)

 

 

It will also help if you remove the wheel. I tried to replace mine once with the wheel on and the weight of the wheel made it much more difficult to align everything again.

 

Also, remember to use a tq wrench and tq it to specs. I took off my LCA when i was installing the ASR kit and didnt tq it to specs thought it was ok. Good thing i checked every few days after cuz i found out one of the bolts was lose.... many imagine it falling off........................................... that wouldnt be good. So tq it to specs!

 

yea i kno thanks alot guys i appreciate the follow up...

 

I'd just take it to a shop unless you have access to an impact wrench.. cause more than likely your going to snap the heads off the lca bolts and be stuck going to a shop anyways

yeah like this is great advice. he has a higher chance of snapping them with an impact wrench than by hand.

LOL. That is the hidden catch...that isn't so hidden once you've done it.

And don't forget to load the suspension when re-tightening the bolts. Past that...no hidden catch.

 

Buy a manual for your car. It will show you how to do almost everything on your car.
