I purchased a '97 RL with 100K miles.....immaculate......but it has developed a rattling in the front end especially over bumps or joints in the road.....after having the Honda dealership look at it and estimate I need $800 worth of control arms etc., I talked to a tech in this same shop who was into 'lowering' Hondas ......he told me if the struts are good then all I probably needed was bushing replacements..they would have to be pressed out however....I have searched and while no one specifically sells replacement bushing kits for RL's he did say he thought the bushing kit for the Accord or the same year would work....has anyone run into this problem? if so some info would be appreciated
