i was pulling my rear strut assembly today but the bolt that holds the strut to the control arm was really frozen. So i had no choice other than to sacrifice that bushing. Now i just need to know if we can replace them or not. I think NAPA sells them.

yeah u can they half to be pressed in and out.. kinda a pain in the *** to do just get new arms... or go to a shop with a big press to do it..

 

Yes, those are replaceable. I did mine by hand with a big hammer and a tool to poke them out--no press or anything.

 

yes they can be pressed or cut out depending on resources

 

Yes you can buy aftermarket lower control arms also.

Check out the Drag racing forum, or the sponsors on this site.


I actually have 2 from our 92Si. I'm CT with a bunch of spare parts from our EG's.

Let me know if you'd like them

 

you answered your own question with that link to NAPA, id replace the control arms though, but have fun, all your other bolts will be locked in too heh heh just a heads up, PB Blaster and a blowtorch will be your best friends! Not in that order though.

 

niceee! yeah ill see if i can get the bushings and head to my friends shop.. hes got a nice 25 ton press haha. I'd deff get new control arms but i'm not in the best situation so i'm trying to save up! maybe summertime ...

 

yes yes new arms would be your best bet, but a new bushing will hold you until its affordable. i just got done putting new rear LCA's on my EM1... all my bolts were hammered, locked, sludge welded in lol, what a PITA! sounds like yours are in the same kind of condition so be ready to break bolts, burn some bushings, and then cut the rest of the bolts out. its alot easier with pneumatic/air tools...wish i had used them lol. GL!

 

Yeah my bolts broke also, just ended up buying skunk2 lcas, got them on a good proce and a sway bar, now I'm much happier.
