So just recently bought a 95 accord. Steering feels loose and messy when going over bumps, and there is a slight wobble in steering wheel at high speed. Looks like classic control arm issues to me.

Anyway, I see this car has a bunch of different control arms, and often two locations of different bushings for each...some of which can and can't be removed from the arm itself?

Anyone who has gone through this process have any advice? Which are probably bad and need to be replaced etc? Where is best spot for online parts buying and best aftermarket manufacturer for Honda?

Thanks

 

I'm getting ready to install new Energy Suspension black graphite impregnated polyurethane bushings in my control arms and strut rods here very soon, should firm everything up quite a bit compared to old rubber ones.

 

I just replaced my LCA's with cheap parts from rock auto...the bushings themselves seem a little softer than I would like. I am looking at buying Moog from here on, and there are lots of places that sell them online. Rock auto, jc whitney, etc. I also look for oem parts at majestic honda, some parts are just better off oem, and no dealership around can beat their prices

 

Sounds like bad tie rod ends. I would have the suspension looked at before replacing parts....

 

Yea, I saw these online and they looked like a good deal, have you heard from anyone that's used them in to past as to their longevity etc?

 

yea I will get down there and bang around with a mallet to make sure before I buy anything. But in my experience when tie rod ends are bad they are quite noisy. Also to me it feels like play in the position of the wheel and not so much the steering. Maybe my wording previously was bad. I'll let you know what I find

 

Noise is not always present. Wouldnt hurt to check.

In that case, sounds like bad rack bushings.
