Well I have searched and searched and i can not find a difinitive answer to my question. So basically I'm installing coilovers soon and i want to be prepared bolt wise because i know how much of a pain in the *** honda's rear suspension can be. I was just looking to buy replacement bolts for the 3 bolts i have circled in the picture, for each side, i i just need to know what size, I'm pretty sure the ones that go through the shock fork then the lca (#2 in my picture) are 10x80mm but im not sure of the others. #3 is also hard to see in the picture but its the bolt that goes through the trailing arm and the lca. Any help is appreciated! I have a 2000 Civic EX if that helps, and no thats not my car.

 

Get four of them at the Honda dealership. They're $12 a piece. Yes, it sucks, but it's better than half-assing it with whatever you can find at the hardware store.

If you're morally opposed to this, pull one of them out - use one of the inner subframe bolts as they're about 95% likely to come out in one piece - and take it to the Hardware store to match it up.

x2 chances are only the shock ones will break atleast 9 times out of 10 that's the case...but buy all of them just in case, replace them all or return whichever ones you don't need.

 

well which part numbers are they? and what size are the bolts I've looked my *** off and i can't figure out the diagrams on magestic honda

 

I'm curious about the sizes also.

 

i've never had that shock bolt break on me. lucky i guess

 

the lower control arm to subframe is #19
lower control arm to trailing arm assembly is #19

shock bolt is #15

regardless of the #`s the part #`s are the same they`re all 22747, 10 x 80

 

soak it in wd40/liquid wrench/pb blaster overnight, when you`re turning check whether the other side of the bolt is moving as well. turn the ratchet clockwise and counter-clockwise to shake the bolt loose.

 

How many bolts do you need? I got a couple laying around.

 

Not trying to thread jack, but what kind of sway bar is that?

 

i need 6 if you got em

 

well four actually but 6 if you got em

 

and what thread pitch? 1.25 or doesnt it really matter since i have to buy nuts anyways

 

the shock lower nut is tacked to the control arm

 

Make sure you use anti-seize on the new bolts when you re-install them.

 

whenever i go to a junkyard to get parts i ****** all the bolts i can, i have plastic buckets full of honda suspension bolts.... things are TOO expensive.

 

If you're going to suggest getting those Honda bolts, tell him to get it online at Majestic Honda.com, quite a bit cheaper.. Just look up REAR LOWER ARM and get #19

I tried putting on a used lower control arm bolt, it snapped off while I tightened it up (no, I didn't over-torque the bolt). I'd suggest getting new ones.
