Rep Power: 0 ok, i read all those posts before....2 about energy brushings, one about you getting rear torque spec, and another one about diy brushing...
none have i seen have front torque spec or if the oem comes with their own brushing when i buy it...

Rep Power: 312 Ok, since we are all friends here (and I had problem finding info before I bought my helm manual) - the lower front control arms I believe do not come with the front bushing - don't quote me. The best place to check is majestic honda (check google, its late, I am too lazy to put the URL here). They will tell you what bushing is included which is not. I believe only the rear bushing of the front control arm is included, and the front has to be pressed in. The front control arm torque specs are:
61 lb-ft of torque for the front and rear bolt. The balljoint nut requires between 43-51 lb-ft of torque. Finally, the nut on the sway bar requires 29 lb-ft of torque. Anything else just ask (I'm feeling generous, heheh)....
