Review on Improved Front Control Arm for Acura - Energy Suspension 16.3116R by Loren Jacobson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality bushings if you have the opportunity to install them.

At the time of writing this article I haven't even bothered to install these jacks which I bought almost a year ago. Because? I couldn't install them. With the way parts prices are set these days, I can buy any new control arms that already have bushings installed, saving me the hassle of pushing out the old bushings (which are badly rusted) and pressing them in. saves me a lot of time. Because these bushings are strong, they make the Civic bike stiffer but improve handling. The bushings themselves are of fairly high quality so I would have no hesitation in recommending them for that reason, but I would only recommend them if you have the opportunity to install them or need to upgrade the suspension for performance reasons. You really aren't going to save much money by buying these bushings as opposed to buying all new control arms with the bushings already installed.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some difficulties
