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.

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!!!!!!
