Bushing Identification
Front Lower Control Arm (LCA) to Anti-Roll Bar
Original Honda NOS Part #51396-692-014. No longer available to purchase.
- SuperPro /SuperFlex SF182-1642K Polyurethane Bushings. (https://civicgarage.com/198083-c-23_25_26_52_53/front-sway-bar-to-lower-control-arm-polyurethane-bushes-2g-p-170.html?zenid=51474c8b50200e8a75d8684f702d4705)
- Best aftermarket replacement offered, but no longer manufactured. A few sets are still available overseas. Might have to mill down outer face of bushing for washers to torque on ARB.
- Energy Suspension 9.9482G Universal Link Flange Type Bushing. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ALJVVY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
- These are a great alternative to the more expensive replacements offered, but still keep to polyurethane. Fitment is tight and the steel guide is not the correct length to original factory spacing. The guide must be cut in half and a 1/2" length (1/2" ID) Nylon Spacer inserted between both steel pieces to create the correct length. I was able to purchase these at a hardware store locally.
