I have the lude arms torn apart, cleaned up and ready to go. The How-to web site does a good job describing the process. I just need to clear something up real quick. Do the washers go on the inside or on the outside of the crome end caps? The web site really doesn't say. This is probably a stupid question, but I just wanted to make sure..

peace out...

I've not done the conversion personally, but I did tear my accord control arms apart for a rebuild a couple of weeks ago. I would say that the only place for the washers would be after the chrome pieces go on, because the seals are coverered just right by the chrome parts. If you put washers in there, the chrome parts would be too far off the seals and stuff would get in there.

Yeah, those were my thoughts exactly.... It just never said so on the How-to and the pictures don't really show a good shot with the washers on there. Thanks for the responces y'all.
About the ball joints. The ones that came with the arm were worn so I purchased some new ones.

Peace..
