front end still shaking after tie rods were replace, checked my ball joints and LCA to find that my LCA bushings are completely worn to the metal on the passenger side and the ball joints to them are bad too. i need to know when i go to replace them, do i just need the two bushings and the ball joints or do i need all the bushings [ compliance is the 3rd i think. ] i dont think the compliance is worn like the rest of them.

oh and is this kit worth the money? is it all the bushings for both sides or just one??

i apologize for my noobness, im just getting into working on cars, so my knowledge on them is minimal.

 

bump, anyone?

 

I installed these and they work great but a huge pain in the a** to put in...Have a professional shop press them in...

 

Buy knew Skunk 2 LCA's.

 

The lower control arm kit will have the front inner, rear inner (compliance?), and upper control arm to body bushings. It won't come with the lower shock bushings though.

 

go to www.picperformance.com and get the full bushing kit. a little pricey but well worth it.

 

thats guys, all i need tho is a front LCA bushing kit.. just the two bushings per side. and my other question was the compliance bushing, do i need that replaced to? its not worn though.

 

you bought the kit from summit? does it come with both sides or one side per kit? they didnt specify from what i read.

 

I had the ES poly bushings and they work really well. People in the suspension forums don't like poly bushings much. They say they don't last long, however i have never had any problems with mine. The few poly bushings i have left are pushing 7 years old and perfectly fine.
You have some other options as well.
Hard race, mugen, OEM, etc. I personally use the Hard Race and really like them and will recommend them. Hard race does sell kits for just the front A arms.
Seriously though, hit up the suspension forum and start reading. All you questions and options will be fully explored there.

 

thanks alot man preciate the info.i bought this car running with lots of issues, but you get what you pay for, i got it for 100 bucks.. the whole front end suspension and chassis parts are worn to hell

 

what year and vehicle is this for...i would go with complete new Moog front lca's from www.amazon.com ...i just picked up both fronts for $116 shipped and they included all the bushings...!!!

 

^ Really? Damn. Mine just got bent...hydroplane+curb=suspension disaster. Good tip.

Did that kit include sway bar links?

 

i was gonna do the moog route, but advanced is expensive. and i guess i could amazon them, but itd just be cheaper to do the bushings and ball joints cause my a arms are in good shape still.. oh and its a 93 civic dx coupe. i just want a lca and uca bushing kit for both fronts. and then all new upper and lower ball joints and tires and im praying that it fixes my front end shaking and LOUD *** rattle.

BTW, i have cheezy ebay coilover sleeves on them with stock shocks, should i take them off and get some stock springs and new shocks soon? could that be contributing to my shaking and noise issue?
