Used or New -rear control arms? 1987 Accord.
I need the (rear) upper control arms for both sides of our 1987 Accord.
Budget is limited, and I need some opinions. I have someone to install them. Price Comparison: New = 2 x 120 = 240 Used = 2 x 50 = 100 |

What is wrong with the old ones? If the bushings are worn,
I'd buy new ones, since old ones are likely going to exhibit the same problem. New OEM ones may be had for $76*2 + shipping via http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...KLE-BRAKE+DRUM "ben" > wrote >I need the (rear) upper control arms for both sides of our >1987 Accord. > Budget is limited, and I need some opinions.

The drivers side control arm "cracked" and the car is not driveable.
and the other side is ready to go...according to the mechanic. I searched on that site and couldn't find the upper arm. On Nov 30, 4:43 pm, "Elle" > wrote: > What is wrong with the old ones?

Used or New -rear control arms? 1987 Accord.
Huh. I looked at a lot of control arm assemblies on the rear
of c. 1990 Hondas this past summer. They are not in big demand. The biggest problem with them is that the bushings eventually do wear. A lot of these little upper arms are such that one can replace these bushings. Interestingly, that's not necessarily much cheaper than buying the whole upper arm. Regardless, the site I linked earlier indicates that the bushings are not readily available, or not available at all, for your Accord. You could go to a junkyard and I quite possibly get these little arms for a song. I bought some for my 91 Civic and paid something like $25 for two. Went to another yard a month later and found them for even less. Kinda depends on how much longer you want to keep the car, IMO.

ben,
Buy this set on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-87...spagenameZWDVW They are new aftermarket for $52 shipped. They are fine. I used one on my '88 Accord. dan ben wrote: > I need the (rear) upper control arms for both sides of our 1987 Accord. > Budget is limited, and I need some opinions.

the only thing is they don't say "upper" anywhere on this listing.
