i know for sure my middle lca bolt is ceased up. im about to install some newer lca and i was wondering if the 2 outer bolts have the same tendency to cese up like the middle 1 does?

 

im sorry, but i have to correct you..

it's seized, not seased, or ceased.

 

the other 2 came out easily for me with an impact wrench even though the shock bolt had to be drilled out.

 

We've had to cut out those four bolts before in the worst case scenario. It was a two day job and we chewed up about 5 sawzall blades.

 

i had 2 of the main 3 bolts siezed in one of my lca's. had to cut them off and press in new bushings.

 

in preparation, i would assume they are all seized and use new bolts when reinstalling. the bolts are inexpensive and worth the peace of mind.

 

same thing happend here....bolts are like 10 dollars a pop.

 

ya the bolts are about 10$ each at the local acura. i really cant afford 60$ in bolts right now

 

well i guess im gona go and buy all 6 bolts and barrow a air gun. now i just hope my lca's come tomaorw

 

Inner ones are usually not seized, my tiebar went on without a hitch. The shock bolt are definitely the problem and were seized along with the outside ones. I say you buy 4 of them.

The local shop here presses the new bushings on while the control arm is still on the car... don't know what tool they use but can save alot of headache if you don't pull the control arm.

i ended up buying all 6 bolts today while i was at honda. hopefully i can get the lca's off with hand tools. i have new shocks and function 7 lca's so iwont need to get the middle bolt out.

 

Good luck on your project!

 

yea the bushing siezed right to the bolt and i spun the bushing out of the lca and bent the stock shock mounting bracket eventually sawzall worked.
