EK front LCA bushings

Help. I need to replace my front LCA bushings (the ones where the front shocks mount to) see pic

ek front LCA


eg front LCA


I was told by Honda that I can't just buy the EK LCA bushings. I have to buy the whole arm. Is this true? As you can see from the pics, eg have part #7 & #12 for the bushings compared to EK.

I need to replace the bushings because it is throwing off my alignment on the car. I'm looking for the most cost effective way to approach this. Please advise.

Heh, look at the pictures, they speak for themselves

Twinbros, I got EK front DRIVERSIDE LCA for only 20 bucks (from a 2000 DX)! Grab it if you like!

Also, 2000 SiR front LCA bushines (Part #7) for 10 bucks (pair) as a back up set.

Matt and I replaced the bushings but it was a lot of work - burning, pushing, hammering and whatnot (if you want to DIY). I say you take mine and call it a day.

werd... the forks and SiR LCAs are a lot wider than the cast steel LCAs. I went through this when I swapped to the complete SiR susp.

I have heard of them... what do you plan to get from them? It's the same level of engineering as like... APC and Ractive. I guess you were looking at the rear LCAs? :-|

Front and rear look totally different. Front looks like a triangle, the rear is just a straight piece.
