my friends rear lower control arm bushing went bad today when we tried to remove the bolt.

where can i pick up an oem 96 gsr rear lower control arm? were not going to remove the old bushing and put in a new one, too much work involved.

also what other cars share the same rear lower control arm?

 

94-01 ls/gs/rs share the same control arms. itr arms are different. try a junkyard or the marketplace.

 

Is the LCA off already? If not, you still have more bolts to remove, which will most likely break as well. Repacing the bushings (shock mount bushings in my case) was not that bad. I installed Energy Suspension bushings, which do not require a press.

To replace a bushing:
1) Cut bolt broken bolt free of mount with a saws all or thin kerf angle grinder.
2) Heat the bushing center with a torch (a simple propane or MAPP gas torch for soldering pipes will work) to melt the rubber.
3) Push the center of the bushing out.
4) Cut the bushing race with a hack saw assembled through the hole.
5) Use a punch to drive out the split race.
6) Install the new bushing.

For arm compatability, the 94-01 Integras (both 2 and four door) are the same except for the ITR and RS (no ABS mounts on RS).

 

I belive the 92-96 civic are the same too... at least thats what I though... correct someone?

They should be, but some of the mounting points for the ABS wires will differ. I am not sure of the exact differences. The 94-01 Integras with the exception of the ITR and RS share the same p/n for the arm.
