Prelude control arm conversion

[standardryder435]

What year prelude has the control arms that will work and what all do I need to put them on the accord?

[SteveDX89]

84-87 Prelude. You need the arms, a couple washers to space the mounting brackets out, and ball joints. It's basically bolt and unbolt once you get the washers on.

Do I need the brackets that are on the prelude? Or will the accords work?

[SteveDX89]

You can use either. They are just too close together on the Prelude arms. You have to take the long bolt out, pull the brackets off, put the washers on, then put the brackets and bolt back together. Then just slip them on like the Accord arms.

well I was looking into getting these and I wasn't able to get new ball joints with out buying the entire A-arm. They cost about $76 a arm which is gay, since the arm is two peices, I would think that would just sell the bracket that holds the balljoint????

You can get just the ball joint at Advance Auto. Not sure if they have those around where you live but that's where I got mine.
