all that can wear out is the two bushings #11 (LCA to frame), & #12 (shock fork)(which are replaceable).




Usually what wears out are the balljoints (which are connected to the knuckle/spindle #3 & #4)

It's more the toe being out, get some adjustable rear toe links and get an alignment.

What's wrong with adjusting the stock ones? As long as the bolts aren't seized or the arm bent from an accident they should be fine. Preprelude who has the 'best Prelude in the World' thread on PO .com, bought aftermarket (Megan Racing?) ones for his JR SC Type Sh said they suck.

^I have been using them for about a year with no probs. I read his thread, he ran over a pot hole the size of an open man hole, that's what ruined his. >_>

You can only adjust the stock ones so far, so if you have anything more than a slight drop the toe will still be out.
