i have a 1986 lude with the 2 liter and you guys all said the upper control arms will fit on my car? well i looked at the little ca's and they are different than the accords. the accords upper ca has the ball joint in it and the lude doesnt! What the hell?

well u switch it only if ur dropping so to correct the camber, not if ur 3g is fine and needs nothing and aint lowered.

that has nothing to do with my question... lowering ur car doesnt change the ball joint location on the ca! and the car is lowered... so b4 u get smart... read then speak!
thank you

PS i am starting to bitch people out alot... i wanna be like Nate... actually, i am having a ruff time with the car. bad idle(weber is on the way...2 more days) fuel leak!(i am redoing the whole fuel system with new tank, pumps and lines right up to the carb) and the body still is shitty( i am thinkin of waitin till spring, but then all my moolah will surely be spent! so i dunno what to do!!!)

Well that's the whole point of changing to the prelude arms is that you have adjustable arms and the ball joints can be purchased separately.
