Civic EG

For 92-95 hatches are all of the lower control arms identicle
I ordered lcas and apparently they are differant
its out of my control at the moment I just need to make sure that the front lower control arms are the same as the rear

I hope someone could answer this, I know this isn't a chat room

So no aftermarket company makes front lower control arms?
And are the rears the same as the fronts

help me
should I just replace the bushings [/b]

No, the rear control arms are nothing like the front ones.

Its odd that noone makes aftermarket front lca's
what is one supposed to do, I guess I could just use the rear bushings

Can you explain to us what you are trying to do?
On any car I have ever looked under, the front lower control arms are completely different than the rears. One look under your civic and you'll see this:

vs this:


Why do you need to replace your front LCA's?

edit: I've seen aftermarket front LCA's for 96-00 but not 92-95


edit2: actually think Omni makes an aftermarket front LCA for our cars

Ah I appologise, im using my phones internet, little difficult for me to use
I just recently ordered four lower control arms, I asked if the front lcas where included and got a general response, so I didn't think much of it.

But since spring is comming I decided to get new tires, balanced and aligned
my front lcas are really loose and its throwing my steering off.
So by me overlooking the lcas that I ordered, im now stuck with not having the correct part

Couldn't I be able to use the extra set of rear lca bushings on my front lcas?

The Only aftermarkets for Front Lower Control Arms for 92-95 Hondas are Omni Power and Hardrace..I think there was another but I cant remember.
If u need to change the bushings in the front controls then u can do this and there are DYI's for that or u can just ask here. I changed my front lower control arm bushings. U can buy Front Control Arm Bushings from alot of different aftermarket companys, Autoparts stores, as well as OEM Honda Bushings from Dealers.
Please let us know more Info on what u are trying to do? Thanks

ahhh now it makes sense... So you're stuck with 2 pairs of rear LCA's and the bushings in your oem front LCA's are shot.

What about returning the extra set of rears or re-selling them and buying a set of Energy Suspension bushings for the front LCA's? That way you won't be junking out a set of brand new rear LCA's.

No the Fronts are different from the Rears..

X2 on what Teal_dx said.

You guys are amazing thanks for the help
Lol I should learn from this mistake, thanks again guys

WOW so I finally got my front LCA's on, and an alignment
Absolutely amazing, it rides so much better

Just need some sway bars and coilovers
