    Question Question on control arms

    Greets,

    My front upper control arm ball joints have had it on my '88 LX, so it's time to get some new control arms. Since I have to get new ones, I'm looking for some aftermarket arms that will perform better. Problem is, I don't know who sells or makes aftermarket control arms for my year. Anyone have any suggestions or know any places to look?

    Thanks for any help.

    Front upper control arms off 83-87 Preludes will give you adjustable camber. All you can do to the stock control arms is use a stiffer bushing materal.

    Alrighty, sounds like a done deal then. I wasn't sure if they made any control arms that would improve my ride quality. I'll just get some stock arms then. I appreciate the info -- thank you.
