Yea, definetly need a whole new bushing. Go to a junkyard and have them pull you a whole new control arm, shouldnt be more then $30 or so. Get a new bushing pressed into it and just remove your whole control arm and shock together and bolt the new ones in. Thats whatI would do at least.

wonderful... looks like I'm getting a ride to work for at least a few days next week... I'm just glad that Summit Racing usually has close to next-day shipping for where I live... I guess I'm ordering some new parts... thanks for your help guys

edit: anybody want to link me to the bushings i'll need? I have no clue about which ones they are lol

another edit: actually, screw that... I'll just order skunk2 lca's and be done with it. Looks like my car's going to be out of commission for the entire week.. I don't get paid until friday.

you can get a junkyard control arm from any 92-95 civic or 94-01 integra.


If you want to get poly bushings, you need these

But to get the original bushing OUT, you'll need to totally remove the control arm, and burn the rest of the rubber out.

If any other control arm bolts are seized, you'll also need this set

thanks marnie.... I might end up getting the shock mount bushings after all... I figured they'd be more expensive... I have the other lca bushings sitting in my room waiting to go on anyway.
