you have the wrong rear shock. That is a, looks like skunk2, problem.


There might be some spacers in the box that you need to through on each side.

Looks like your rear shocks are for an '89-91 Civic, 90-93 Integra, or '92-95 Civic/'94-01 Integra. The control arms are either for a '96-00 Civic, or the bushings have been ground down to fit '96-00 Civic rear shocks.

Give Omnipower a call if you're looking for replacement bushings. 951-956-6554.

The previous owner definitely modified them to use with '96-00 Civic shocks then.

You could get new bushings from Omnipower, or you could just use some washers or metal collars as spacers with the existing bushings.

What do you mean? Are the threads in the shock wrong?

the middle bushing isn't the same as the other 2 on the LCA.

Nothing is wrong with your LCA's
