i have both laying in my garage floor, they are definitely different. for one thing, the upper ball joint is in a little bit different location, reason enough not to use it. how can your's be screwed up? the only thing that goes bad is the bushings and the ball joints.

well if the balljoints are bad, im pretty sure the whole thing has to be replaced. i did mine this summer, trust me, you're gonna flip when u see the price. i think list price was like $217.00 from honda, but i work at an automotive parts store, so luckily i got a discount

you can replace ball joints, replacing the whole arm is more costly and wasteful.

i recall my friend using integra spindles with his ls swap on his crx cause the axle bolt wont come off. he had crx upper control arms. how different are crx upper control arms from 2nd gen integ upper control arms? would i be able to assemble the whole front using 2nd gen integ upper control arms even though they are slightly different?

Is this the whole control arm and balljoint. http://www.autozone.com/servle...ync=4
If it is then this is alot cheaper than 130.00. Just wandering if this is the same thing that your asking for?

no, actually i just need to know if a EF uppercontrol arm is the same as a DA. My balljoint is bad, so im replacing the whole arm. However I have DA uca'a and knuckles(big Brakes)on my 91 si. IF a ef arm will fit, then ill be in luck cuz i just ordered 2 from honda. If it wont work, gotz to figure sumthin,,,

Wow somoeone woke up a dead thread.

The balljoints in 88+89 CRXs are not replaceable but the 90+91 are.

I bought the SPC adjustable upper ball joints and I tried to install them on my 89 upper arms.
They were welded in. I ground the welds off and what I was left with was worthless.
I went to the junk yard and got some 90-91 arms and they work great.
The ball joint is held in with a circlip. I took out the clip, hit the balljoint with a hammer 2 or 3 times and they popped right out. The SPCs bolt in so the rest was easy. New normal balljoints might need pressed in, I don't know.

I just did this work this afternoon, what are the odds?

As posted above DA arms are different.
