I had to cut the bolt that connected the strut to my lca in my integra. It somehow attached itself to the bushing and the impact gun shredded the bushing to bits when i tried to get it loose. I think the bolt alone was close to $10 from Honda.

 

well, i just called honda not too long ago and each of the bolts are $18.99 a piece!! screw that.

with that said, if anyone has ek stock rear lca's with the bushings and bolts intact, pm me or gimme a call at 757-619-0970. i need these by the morning of 5/16 so lemme know asap.

 

i have a set of lca for an ek. but i did the same thing. all you have to do it press out your fronts, the one that hooks to the trailing arm and put them in the hole that is missing. when you reinstall the bolts. new or used. coat them in anti seize. that is what i do everytime i take out a bolt. hell i even do it on the spark plugs.

 

If you put anti-seize on your bolts, your torque specs get thrown out the window if you're using a torque wrench. Keep that in mind.

 

DUDE!!! why didn't you ask... just call honda or acura and ask for the DEALER price. about 2-3 dollars a piece. Picked up all new ones for mine because my bolts did the same thing as I was explaining in another thread....

You def want to have those bolts though!!! IF you don't, your suspension could fall off or twist and all sorts of shit you don't want to happen. If you can't get dealer price, get up with me and I'll get them for you!!!!!!

 

and a torque wrench will definitely be used. i'm currently attempting to locate some replacement bolts and/or lca's. i have a couple leads, but nothing concrete yet..well, i'm off to work so if anyone has anything please don't hesitate to call me at 757-619-0970. thanks for everyone's help

pm'd you bro

 

Juust texted you.

 

why would your torque it? i put my on with anti seize and tighten the shit out of it and they are still good. and that has been a year ago.

 

texted you back

 

Remind me not to let you near my cars with a wrench.
