New Arms

The replacement top suspension arms.

 

My new arms were sourced through the local motor factors, and are a Quinton Hazel part, although they are actually made by Febi Bilstein. They are of excellent quality and every bit as good as the original parts from Honda. They have a good coating of paint and the rest of the assembly has a heavy yellow zinc plated finish.

Cost for these was a mere £34 per side, quite a difference compared to the price from Honda when you consider you get the complete assembly. At that cost there is no excuse for fitting a pair together.

 

Identification labels, these were a little scratched from the arms being in transit but still legible. They were removed with brake cleaner before fitting the arms.

Quinton Hazel list these parts as only fitting the 1.5GL model of Civic but they are exactly the same part as used on the DOHC D16 and B16 engined Civic/CRX.
