Default skunk 2 LCA on 88 ef hatch

Hey guys. I'm getting a lot of mixed answers from people regarding the skunk 2 rear lower control arms on the 88 year cars. I'm wondering if anyone has installed the skunk 2 rear lower control arms (specifically the black series) successfully on their 88 civic.

Thanks for the help

Make sure you load the suspension and torque the bolts to prevent noise from the bushings.

dont worry about the noise.. worry about the bushings wearing prematurely because there is no load when you torque everything..
