Default Replacing radius rod bushing

Okay, usually when i drive i hear a clunk sound coming from the front end when stopping and going. so my car was on a lift the other day and i noticed that i could shake the radius rod on the passenger side of the car, so i figure its time to change the bushing.
I wanted to know if you guys could tell me where i can get some fresh bushings and if anyone had tips on replacing it and tq specs. thanks

easy to replace
i put some prothane ones

two bolts that bolt to the bottom of the LCA
and one bolt in front of the radius rod

unbolt the one in front of the radius rod first

and just make sure to torque that front bolt properly because as youre tightening....you will be squishing the bushing together

nice. I'm doing this , this weekend. My bushings are cracked all over the place.

thanks! So don't go with oem or what?

Never heard of prothane, will they last longer? How are they priced? Are you going to do all of them or just the ones that are mangled? I forget off hand (and yes I guess I'm being lazy but if anybody knows off hand how many are in my 93 prelude, that would save me a bit of searching, as I'd like to do all of them at once.)

Make sure to get re aligned because the radius rod controlls caster I belive and could possibly throw allignment out when replaced.
