Default Questions about replacing control arms on 93 Civic.

Hi. I need to replace the control on on my 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback CX and I have two questions.

1. Can any control arm from a 1992-1995 Civic swap or does it have to be a specific year/model? I read that my car has an EH23 chassis, so I was curious if that mattered or not.

2. How difficult is replacing it? I'm no mechanic by any means, but I'm not totally mechanically incompetent. I've been able to fix other things with extra time and decent instructions. How serious is the damage if I put it on incorrectly?

Thanks to anyone who answers. My honda has been great and dependable and I'll be damned if a side impact crash will stop it!

Don't forget that you will need a pickle fork/ball joint seperator.
