Just traded my 91 CRX for a clean 95 Integra LS.Has coilover sleeves but for some reason the rears were on wrong (perches were sitting on top of spring instead of bottom).So decided Id fix them and in the process snapped the head off the lower control arm bolt (14 mm).After I did that,I looked over at the other side and it too had been broken at some point and somebody had been driving it that way.Anyway,I have the Energy Suspension poly bushings ordered and Im gonna use a sawzall and melt the old bushing out like everybody says.I was wondering if I used a stainless steel bolt through the new bushings,would that help ? I know the bolt seizes to the bushing due to rust and then u gotta get new LCAs or use the sawzall and propane torch method.Why is this so common on DCs? I've had 15 Hondas and never a problem with LCA bolts until now.
