what are the best brand LCA togo with for front and rear? oem moog mevotech??

Stock Acura parts. The Mevotech front lowers I got needed the stabilizer link holes drilled out larger and don't seem to be as "quality" as stock. I did go with Moog upper and lower ball joints and love them. Moog makes great parts, couldn't find a front lower LCA from them though. I would definitely get the rear ones that they offer though. Only good things to say about Moog, plus the warranty is pretty solid.

Genuine Acura. No contest.

Moog's quality (in my experience) was pretty bad.

As others have said, use OEM, but don't fall into the trap of replacing them too early, make sure they are pretty bad. A few cracks is nothing, so don't believe the hype.

I had Mevotech front LCAs and after a year the driver side bushings needed replacing, but I am lowered and push the car a bit so that may be a factor.

Moog only offers front LCAs for the TL from their R series lineup (which you should avoid), which are made in China. You shouldn't judge Moog's overall quality from their R series parts, as their other parts are amazing quality in my experience. At least, they are up front about it and indicate that the R series are economy/value based parts. Mevotech advertises their arms as superior quality when they are clearly not.

My ideal solution is OEM front LCAs with the 07-08 OEM bushings, as they are a bit softer than previous years (they'll fit in 04-06 arms).

This is more of a bushing question but what about stock lca with polyurethane bushings. I would like to achieve a sport greater handling plus longevity. Or should I be looking at new struts? 81000 miles on my 06 TL

Just get PCI compliance bushings

Would that be too rigid. Family hauler at times. I will look into it though. thanks again

Polyurethane makes a really shitty choice for most bushings. Some poly bushings are engineered similarly to rubber ones...but the cost is crazy.

Poly doesn't last, and it will bind up if used on compliance bushing areas. Lifespan is extremely short.

Buy factory arms. Clock the bushings properly. They'll last 100-200K miles.

We own acura not honda civics. I would stick to OEM.

I'd stay away from Poly sometimes they are to soft compared to OEM quality.

oem stuff. It is made to last under normal driving condition.
