Does anyone know where to find the best deal on front LCA's for a 2006 TL?

I usually get aftermarket parts from Rockauto but for some reason they do not have LCA's available...they have them for other Acura's so I am wondering why they don't offer them for this car.

Thanks in advance!

I would check the closest import salvage yard. New OEM LCAs are not cheap; I would buy used ones and have a shop press in new bushings. You'll have to decide if the price difference is worth it.

Whats the reason behind replacing your LCA? If it's just bad bushings you can just press them out and press in new OEM bushings for much cheaper. I was going to change my LCA because of bad bushings until I found out I can press out the old ones for much cheaper.

I bent my subframe last winter sliding into a curb of a round-about @ 20km/hr in some black ice so I had the subframe straightened out and I replaced my UCA when it happened which made the car pretty solid until recently...now the FR inboard joint is leaking grease and there is a rotational hum around 100km/hr, not to mention that the camber is slightly out of spec on that side. I figure that if I am going to do the Axle, I may as well do the LCA at the same time...I may look into getting the left LCA bushings pressed in if I am going to end up spending $300 per arm.
