Okay im in a bit of a hurry, pmed jim about it but i guess he is busy too. This is my question
Would a 3rd gen lude control arms fit ours to correct camber. Can i use this in place of the 2nd gen lude control arms? Thanks guys
<<<Did not hit the search button so sorry :(>>
do you have any??
I haven't seen them before, They will work if they have the slots in them like the second generation ones do. there are a pair of slots on each one about 1.5" in length that allows the ball joint to slide out to correct the neg camber
yes they do have the slot. As a matter of fact im heading off to the junkyard to get those. Hopefully the width of the arms wont be too big to fit into our stock control arm width. Well thanks for answering me back jigga :D Keep u guys updated.
Smuf, if it is too wide, it's not the end of the world. You can just fire up the belt/disc sander, or grinder and bring it down a little, then just use the 3G control arm mounts and bolt to fasten the arm to the strut tower. If it's too small, just do what we do with the 2G 'Lude arms and add some washers. I have no idea what the 3G lude arms look like so I would be of no help to your original question.
**EDIT**
Hmm... Looks as though it's VERY similar to that of the 2G.
I'd give it a shot.
Thanks Majestic!....

i popped those things out in the junkyard, took my 10 minutes to pull em out and honestly i was suprised that the balljoints were that easy. I smacked em with the hammer like we do for the lower ball joint. anywho. Its gonna be 25-30 bux for a pair. I guess its a good deal. Anywho i will keep u guys updated on that. Seems like they are perfect length for the 3g accords. But i will compare them and put a pic of them side by side if possible. Thanks again for ur inputs people. :bow:
What is that a picture of, the 3rd gen Prelude arm or the Accord arm?
That looks like a Prelude.
its the pic of a 3rd gen lude adjustable control arm.
hah, part 5 on that diagram, I gotta remove them, my diver side rotor rubs on it and makes a noise that is annoying as hell. Doesn't look to hard to get to..
You need to remove the rotor to get to that.
