Hey folks, wanted to check in and see whether the front right lower control arm and front left lower control arms can be replaced with parts from the accord as it seems the parts (on the diagrams at least) are identical, and I plan to go with new Compliance bushings from Heeltoe!

The Acura Part # is 51360SEPA00 and the accord part # 51360SDBA00
(Hondaacura 51360SDBA00 Genuine Lower Control ARM | eBay)

I'm assuming they are one and the same but I wanted to check in to verify. Cheers!

 

Anyone knows about this? this is exactly I was wondering..
Cause 164 bucks from Honda vs. 300bucks..from Acura.


If they are the same, why bother buying acura parts?


Btw, I already replace mine with genuine parts from acura and installed at the dealer but it happened again after just 1 year and half....


Just saying.. I would recommend polyurethane bushings if you can find..

 

why are you replacing the arms when you can replace the bushings only!

 

I need to replace the front right arm after an impact (already found a wheel knuckle for a good price which needed to be replaced as well)

 

Are the bushings from Heeltoe that much better? Link?

 

I have to do this too since my bushing are causing vibrations and I just want to get it done. This is what I found so far:

Oh the FLP Compliance Bearing set is MUCH better to drive on than the stock bushings. Here is our installation and impressions:

"Update 11/12/12: After spending some more time driving with these bearings in, my love for them has only grown. There is a very direct feel from my fingers to the road. When you are on the verge of breaking traction you can almost feel the tires gripping the road, and you can modulate the power very finely. This of course is enhanced with the Innovative Mounts. however I am finding the negative feedback from bumps was really overstated in the original writing above. While there are bumps that come up and jolt the front end, I am starting to think this has more to do with my suspension than the bearings. I am considering changing my suspension out soon to experiment with this."

 

Hey Marcus,

I'd love to hear you chime in on whether the Accord lower control arms would fit on the TL. Like someone said above, I'd love to get away with paying 150$ instead of 300$ for one arm.
