Lightbulb Front lower control arms on Kb1

Hello,

Bought a Honda Legend Kb1 2008 a while ago.
Found out that the lower ball joints where bad.
Searched a lot and eventually understood that the whole arm needed replacement.
Asked the Honda dealer first and both control arms where about 1400$ here in Sweden.
A little bit too much for a ball joint replacement.
Sooo, I found out that there is an aftermarket part by the name Beck/Arnley that fits the Acura RL.

My question is. Has anyone tried theese "RL Kb1" arms on a "Legend Kb1"?
And are there more options available?

/Thanks!

Beck/Arnley is a very popular After-market company here in North America that specialises in OEM-like parts.
I have no doubt the control arm will fit!

Thank you!

Will probably get all my parts from RL then, As we do not have anything for Legend here.
Cant even find an aftermarket airfilter.
I will update when they are fitted!

the only thing that I am not sure of because I dont own an RL, is if the LEgend is the same exact copy of the RL..if so, then yes it will fit

They are both KB1 chassis and will share all mechanical components. The RL Beck-Arnley control arms are the way to go.
