Default Problem with front wheels almost touching the front fender under boost..

While i was dynoing ealier this week if you stood back and watch the wheel when the car was under boost the wheels started to creep forward. At 7k rpm when we let off the wheels were VERY close to touching the front bumper/fender.

What can i do to stabalize the front control arms/wheels?

you can also redo the bushings up front to help a little. Same thing happens to cause the wheel hop our cars have so bad.

Energy makes a urethane bushing kit that replaces all of the rubber bushings in your suspension. It helps tremendously, especially in boosted Preludes (lots of torque).

Boosted97Lude- The check is in the mail..

MordecaiPSI- I have an Energy Master Suspension set for 92-95 'ludes in stock that I can give you a good price on if you are interested. It replaces ALL rubber suspension pieces in the car (front & rear). Let me know.
