Default LCA questions

I am having trouble with what i believe to be a wheel bearing on my RR corner. It is a loud roar that changes pitch/gets louder when turning left, quiets going straight and quits turning right.

I am looking into purchasing a GSR to do soem conversions with. The only problem is that the susp.is damaged on that corner of the car-the LCA is bent.

I have found a set of LCA's that are for sale from a 93 civic Si-will these interchange? I am trying to save money on the bearing replacement, and do the rear disc conversion at the same time. Is it possible with the other LCA's?

THanks for the help,

Michael

All EG and DC ('92-'95 Civic -94-'00 Integra) front and rear LCA's are interchangeable. The only difference is if you don't have a stock sway bar, your LCA's won't have a hardpoint on them for the swaybar to attach to. You can get the Si's, but I'd just keep yours and maybe consider investing in a Energy Suspension bushing kit.

Oh yeah, if the LCA's bent, check the bottom of that trailing arm. Around where the LCA bolts in should be a perfect U where it slides in. I bought a pair for my hatch and the LCA was straight but the U was kinked and I had to pull the drum off and swtich the trailing arms and it was a huge pain in the ass.
