I was looking to replace my front compliance bushings because i now have an issue with suspension and wear/damage in my front two tires; however, a friend that has been working on cars for years told me that it would just be cheaper to replace the whole front lower control arms rather than having the bushings pressed out. Now that he's convinced me to replace the whole arms rather than press out the bushings, does anyone know about the quality Moog vs OEM front lower control arms for a 2005 Acura Rsx Base automatic? Thanks

Options for rubber bushings:
Buy LCA's from Honda/Acura
Buy bushings from Honda/Acura
Buy hardrace bushings (I assume they'll last)
Buy Moogs and expecting a very short life span

I buy Honda/Acura parts at bernardiparts.com

You absolutely must position and clock any of the above rubber bushings.


Here's a moog review:

If you decide you still want that junk, Rockauto has them fairly cheap.

My experience with Moog parts have been positive. Matter of fact when I bought ball joints, The OEM packaging was very similar to the Moog one, down to the "Made in Japan" label that was in it. However I wouldn't expect this for all of their parts. This was just ball joints.
