My 87 hatchback is getting up there in age. Although the body is getting a reconditioning I need to make sure the rest of it doesnt fall apart on me. The steering wheel pulses like crazy while driving but smooths out when under acceleration. Im not sure which ball joint or tie rod end it is so I figured since they all have 280k on it, I better eplace them all. Im also planning on replacing as many parts with poly as I can. The numbers for those are everywhere but just to be sure Im going to include them in my list at the bottom of the page.
A few things Im unsure on,
I would like to redo my spring seats, are these part of the tophat (should I just order top hats from Honda) or something seperate I can order
Im going to order the strut top bushings that supports the strut as it passes through the top hat, is this one of the poly mounts?
Which rear upper control arm is best for lowered vehicles?
Should I go with a rear sway bar and if so which one?
On any of the kits from prothane, do I need to order more then one kit to do the car?
Anyways, onto the order
From summitracing.com
bushing end link set 8-401
strut rod bushing 8-1201 (are these for the top hats)
lower control arm bushing 8-201
front shock bushing kit 8-907
moog tie rod 719-es20955
shock mount kit 719-k9492 (are these the same as one of the poly kits)
Moog lower control arm ball joints
addco rear sway bar aco-379
Moog prelude front upper ball joints for 2nd gen arm swap
which adjustable rear upper control arm?
Radius rod bushings?
Im going to be converting to rear discs and doing the AEM 12in front and rear brake kit at the same time. Ive got stainless lines and new pads. If anyone has anything to add let me know. Again I want the suspension and brakes to be like new because they are.
