Aftermath of suspension install
Well I finally got everything finished and installed and there is a clunking or knocking noise coming from the right rear of the car. I am guessing that its the rear LCA knuckle bolt that I had to drill out so here is the dilemma im faced with. After calling 2 dealerships and finding out thats the only bushing on the rear LCA you cant replace my choices are get 1 new OEM rear LCA from honda ($66 minus tcc discount) or get a pair of aftermarket ones that look nice and replace both at the same time.
I am pretty sure it is the bolt clunking in the hole but is there any other possible reasons I would hear this noise?

dont jump to conclusions just yet...your spring might not be sitting properly or if you have bad luck like me maybe you forgot one of the bushings on the top hat 
can you tell if its coming from the bottom? or do you just hear a clunk?

im still confused as to which one you broke?
do you have a pic?
you should be able to buy all the bushings
i have them for all 3 holes on the LCA
as well as the ES master kit replaces them

yeah your car sucks
just checked Majestic honda online .. there is no part number for it ... so looks like it will have to be a new LCA for you .... but those are cheap based on the price you gave....

i've seen a snapped aftermarket lca... it was one of those ones with all those holes in it kinda.... i can't remember the make but definately just get oem ones.... although if you dont race the car i suppose you'd be alright with those aftermarket ones
