Default 96 lude UCA

hi, here is the deal, im removing my ingalls camber kit front and rear.its the type that replaces the stock UCA bushings with the slotted ones for adj. i cant find my old stock parts to put them back on. iv called junk yards and honda and checked ebay. i can only find them as a assembly. i dont need the whole UCA, ball joint and bushings. any one know where or if i can just buy the bushing-bolt part? never thought it would be this hard to find this part. its the last part i need to have my lude driving again. thanks for any help. i dont know what else to do. thanks

What about getting a prothane/energy suspension bushing for the UCA's. The bolt should be available by itself from Honda or at a junkyard. You shouldn't have to buy the whole kit.

Not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for.

You can't source the bolts from another part of the car...or another vehicle altogether? Measure the inside diameter of the bushings hole and find a bolt that will fit. Just make sure you get the correct grade bolt.

I looked around and couldn't find OEM anchor bolts sold by themselves. Moog and ACDelco make adjustable anchor bolts that look similar to the Ingalls. If you don't have any luck jump on Ebay and buy a set of upper control arms. They're all over the place for $29.99 a piece in buy it now auctions. If you buy from the same seller you should only have to pay one shipping fee.

It just looks to be one of those parts that they didn't bother to make individually b/c by the time they wore out, your ball joints would inevitably be worn as well and you would swap both items at once.

I'm thinking even if they were sold seperately, considering new control arms are in the $150-$250 range a piece, each anchor bolt would run you $15-30 bucks from a dealer or parts store anyway. The price would still end up being pretty high. At $15 bucks a piece you would still spend close to $120, and I doubt they would be that cheap, seeing as stock control arm bushings from parts stores (KYB, Moog, AC Delco, Reybestos) are in the $14-16 range. Coupe with it the OEM style anchor bolt system and I could easily see paying $30-40 each for one.
