Front Lower Arm Bushing + Bolt 3rd gen

Post by eNTERTAINER » Sun Apr 12, 2020 4:07 pm

Hi guys,

I've bought some BC Racing coilovers for my 3rd gen Prelude a couple of months ago and COVID lockdown has given me the time to start putting them on the car. Unfortunately I've hit a "small" snag along the way. The bolt connecting the lower control arm to the damper wishbone is seized on the bushing inner sleeve. After trying to bypass the problem, by removing the torsion bar and slipping the OEM damper out while the hub is pressed down to the max and failing, my only real option is to cut the bolt and replace the bush + bolt.

The bushing is attainable on autodoc, but it doesn't come with a bolt. Honda obviously discontinued the bolt (90121-SB0-013 Shock Absorber Fork 12X108).

Another option is to buy it from Moog in the States, but they charge $45 per bush+bolt ( x2 = $90) and the shipping is $135. :thumbdown: :problem:

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, where did you get a replacement bolt from?

Cheers!

Any help?
Greatly appreciated! I ordered the ones off of eBay because I didn't get to see your second reply. They're coming in from Asuncion, Paraguay of all the places in the world. Hope I won't get scammed. Thanks again! Will update on the situation

Not a problem. A tad pricey just for a bolt but it is genuine Honda so will be the proper specs 8)
