The same failure as the old bushing. I don't have the details of it - probably on another forum. But note I'm saying "heard" as opposed to "my personal experience."

thanks smokingcoop for the installation tip! recently got a good deal on some blox lcas and the bushing stories were driving me crazy as well.
Hopefully all goes well!

I replaced the bushings on my Blox LCAs before I even installed them. The Hardrace OEM replacements fit right in with the ball joint press I rented from O'Reilly.

How?

Blox bushings are smaller the OEM. Did you modify the bushings?

Do you have pictures?

kjmagnum

No they're not (as least for my 96-00 LCAs). I cut out the Blox ones and they measured the same diameter as OEM. Any pics I have would look just like OEM bushings.

Get F7's. The end links do NOT line up with what you have. To my knowledge, only Function 7 and Skunk 2 have holes in the proper place (along the top, center) to line up with the sway bar end links.

That is another issue with blox control arms for 92-95 civic, and 94-01 integra. The endlink holes are in the wrong spot. You are basicly required to use adjustable endlinks.

Again, that's not an issue with the 96-00 Civic arms. Everything lined up identically to the OEM arms when I compared them and they work fine with my endlinks.

Who said it was?

kjmagnum

I was just clarifying in case anybody was unclear if what you guys were saying about the endlinks would also apply to the 96-00 Civics.

EK Blox LCA.
I have been through about five of these posts on different sites. The Blox control arm is a good part but those bushings are garbage. The rubber in them is way too soft. So, I get that the shock bushing hole is OEM size. And I see that people have installed better outer bushings. But I still have not seen any part numbers for any of these bushings from someone who has actually done it.

I clearly stated 92-95 civic, 94-01 integra. What's unclear about that?
If the bushings are the same size as OEM you can use OEM sized bushings. OEM, ES, etc.

Oh I missed that. So no info on the EK LCA's? The outer bushings are definitely not the same size as stock. This is why I am researching a better replacement.

Hard Race #6103. They are OEM sized replacements that I used to replace all the bushings in my 96-00 Civic Blox LCAs.

You obviously like to argue since that was from 8 months ago... Some people don't seem to understand or learn things for themselves and keep repeating internet hearsay, so I was only stating facts for the people who can't figure them out.

Hey thank you for the help. You're a straight shooter.
