Where can i find rear shocks for the 88 crx i bought a set that was supposed to be 88-91 civic/crx but they are different then my stock ones and wont work would getting new lower control arms be the best bet?

 

getting new lower control arms is your best bet.

but i dont recommend anything aftermarket. theyre all **** or waste of money with one notable exception.

get OEM rear control arm replacements.

 

@tyson
just curious as i also have a crx im looking at replacing the rear control arms and shocks on i was wondering why you don't recommend aftermarket products.. surely there must be a quality replacement part out there.

 

Factory rubber bushings seem to last fairly long. Skunk2, blackworks, megan, blox and others have bushings that are known to fail right away and not worth the time nor money.

Look into a quality product like Function 7, Voodoo 13 or something similar. Hardrace may be alright as well.

 

surely you havent been paying attention to how bad aftermarket lower control arms designed and made.

 

worrd homie thanks for the advice

 

F7 or oem

 

This is the best advice. F7 has worked for a lot of people from what I have seen.

The bushings in aftermarket LCA seem to tear or rot out immediately. The OE ones last 25 years and still get you home. I'd suggest picking some up at the junkyard and replacing with OE wear pieces.
