EK Civic front LCA bushes

[nd55]

Hey,

EK Civics use either a two piece cast LCA or a one piece stamped steel LCA.

I believe in the states two piece = default, one piece = 1999-2000 Si B16 models.
Not sure the local line up.
Mine is definitely a one piece stamped arm.

I've discovered that the one piece LCA uses a larger shock mount fork and corresponding larger bushes.

Can anybody confirm if the LCA-chassis bushes are any different between the different arms?

My reasoning is that the chassis is the same and thus the bushes must be similar. However Energy Suspension list two different part numbers for the different cars.

Thanks.
Nick Daglis.

Hey,

I noticed this thread has been read a few times, so somebody is intererested.... or maybe they strayed by accident. he he.:cool: :cool: ;)

anyway to answer my own question, I've received this information from the poly bush distributor.

The only difference between the two kits, are the lower control arm
bushings, on one side of the lower control arm.
The 16.3114 set uses #2409(1.493" O.D.)
The 16.3115 set uses #2410(1.497" O.D.)
All the other bushings are identical.


0.1mm == The width of a bees d@#k to me.

that 0.1mm , will put a noticeable difference on caster at the opposite end. So dont think for one moment its compatible :)
