Rear Lower Control Arm Bushing Back Orderd - 7/5/2008 10:41:26 AM    mtnbay   Posts: 1 Joined: 6/29/2008 Status: offline     I am replacing the strut assembly on the rear of my wagon. The Flange bolts that attach the lower end of strut to the control arm bushing are rusted to the bushing. I tried to order new bushings from Honda but they are back ordered without a release date? I tried NAPA Car Parts and the bushing hole is .403" diameter while the Flange Bolt is a much smaller .39370" First, does anyone know what the heck is going on with Honda, not having a release day for a part that is used on many other models and model years? Second, Is there anyway to make the bushing from Napa work well with the incompatible hole diameter? _____________________________ 1995 Accord Wagon EX 2.2 VTEC 227,000 miles 35.8 mpg 7/3/08 Post #: 1

Im a big advocate of www.partstrain.com because they have always been pretty darn helpful with getting you the right part. The pricing is better than NAPA usually and the parts are of equal or better quality. I would say call them and ask them your question, just be ware of they guy that tries to push the sell if you only want info. Hope this helps! _____________________________ My Ride: 2000 LX-V6 Accord Sedan AT All OEM parts. (in reply to mtnbay) Post #: 2
