- Thu Dec 31, 2009 3:27 am #164894 so i was putting on my new coilovers tonight and i started with the front and they went on with out a problem.

i got to the rear and hit the strut bolt on the lca with the impact and the head snapped off. on both sides. i ended up taking the whole lca off with the strut attached and had to cut the stock strut off. and came to realize that the bolt was seized to the bushing.

im assuming because of the steal center of the bushing and the bolt being steal rusting and seizing together. if this has happend to anyone else is there a way to avoid this happening again?

also does anyone know if honda sells this perticular bolt or will i have to hit up a hardware store for a replacement

- Thu Dec 31, 2009 7:30 am #164937 this happened to me on both sides so i just welded em together. but dont do that. if youve got the money buy new bushings and while ur at it the lca's. the bolt you can get from honda for a few bucks.
