Front LCA Bushings?

[Jasonoff]

Can you even order/replace bushings for the front LCA?

Front Knuckle (http://www.slhondaparts.com/browse.asp?Model=S2000&Year=2000&TrimLevel=2DR+S2000+&TransLevel=6MTKA&Section=F&Category=B++27++|FRONT+KNUCKLE&Doors=2&Emissions=KA&PartCatalogId=14S2A0&ViewParts=true)

I need the bushing that bolt 25 goes into.

I've got a feeling that you might have to buy the whole arm or find a used arm and salvage the bushing. Check with HTguy. He'll know if you can buy just the bushing.

A fellow I know from Holland, who posts on a small local forum I'm associated with, just posted about his LCA that got bent when he pressed out that bushing:

His situation is a bit different from yours. He's got the bushing but his arm is bent.

if you want to you can. Mugen sells them for about 100 for a set. I don't know if Kingsmotorsports.com stocks them or not, but i would think they would need to.

[Jasonoff]

I did some digging and Honda doesn't sell the bushing which is pretty lame.

I'm looking into some aftermarket alternatives now.

The reason I need them is after raising my front 1/2" I can only get -1.5° of camber because the cam bolt is too seized. :(.

I don't think I can get it out without heating and rapid cooling. The heat will destroy the bushing.

Anyone have any suggestions? The bushing is fine so if I can remove the bolt then I can just replace the hardware or clean it up.

Stand by. I'll ask the fellow in Holland. He might know.

Awesome.. thanks Dave.

Thanks. Maybe I should have been more clear.

They won't sell the bushings in Canada and for the prices they want for them in the US (add shipping, duty, taxes etx) I may as well go with a better after marked bushing if I do need to replace them.

EDIT: Never mind those are the King ones. Thanks for the info :thumbup:

Dave, why not invite him here?

I have provided a link to this thread in my local forum thread. He's one of my old friends from S2Ki who came to this other forum to chat with me and my local friends. I will leave it up to him to decide if he wants to register here. If you follow the link I provided, you will see who it is. He is perhaps even more of an S2000 shadetree mechanic than I.

[Jasonoff]

Hey Dave I'm trying to register on that board but the registration image doesn't show up in firefox or IE.

Jay, Spitfire just addressed my (your) situation in a reply:

I don't know what's wrong with the registration process at Myhomescape. The site owners are out of town (and country), so I can't ask them about it. Spitfire is thinking of joining here. If that happens, he'll be a valuable asset here and certainly more accessable.

[Jasonoff]

Ya I saw it and tried to register so I could thank him.

I'm attempting to source the mugen bushings and or used LCA's from somewhere. For now everything is ok alignment wise just not enough - camber.

He's reading this thread. He knows.

[Jasonoff]

Cool... I have possibly talked with him before when I used to hang out in the UTH section on s2ki back in the day.

[SpitfireS]

Hi :)

Did it all work out with those bushings?

:hi:

[Jasonoff]

I took the lazy route and found a used set for 60bucks :D.

Ordering the new bushings from King had too long of a lead time anyway.

Welcome aboard SpitfireS. Hope to see you from time to time.:rockon:
