i recently purchased some used aftermarket rear lca's for my civic. they didn't come with bolts, and i can't use the ones in my oem lca's(frozen inside the bushing) so my question is, are these the type of bolts i can buy from lowe's or autozone? if so, name and size please. thanks fellas.

and to clear any confusion, i'm talking about the ones that connect to the rear subframe and your struts/shocks

why cant you reuse them?


hammer then out with a punch or something from one side... that's what i did with mine...

the head of the bolt broke off

common problem... someone here might pull up the Helms manual and give you the part number.... if not, the dealership should be able to help. Mine broke off too.... so I went to the yards and grabbed a set from a civic/integra.... Also, you can DL the Helms Manual fro FREE at www.hondahookup.com

Yes, get some stock bolts, don't try to use something off the shelf from somewhere else, especially not some hardware store.

i probably already know the answer to this, but to be sure, the bolts will fit aftermarket lcas w/ no problem, correct?

thermal

it will fit fine... most aftermarket LCA's are direct fitment/replacement....

If the aftermarket LCAs need different hardware than stock, they will include the necessary hardware.

only problem with that is i bought these used without any bolts. but i'll just swing by pick-n-pull before the weekend, and hope for the best

Honda actually redesigned the bolts so they now have a different part number than what they were a couple of years ago.

Get new bolts from Honda, they are pricey but they are SOOOO worth it. The new bolts prevent the problem.
