front lower control arm bushings same as rsx?

Is the front lower control arm bushing the same 7th gen civic to rsx and ep3? Are they interchangeable? My main concern is with the large round one.

Heres the RSX diagram:


Heres the 7thgen diagram:


And heres the Si diagram:


They all look the same....but they have a little bit of a different part number. Looks to me like any of them will work.

Getting ready for the kswap I take it?

Re: front lower control arm bushings same as rsx?

sup rob! ya i'm picking up some shperical bearings that go in place of the bushings from crsx. less play = better launch traction. The different part numbers kind of scare me but i think they are the same. Just wanted to ask someone who knows for sure to ease my mind. All i need for my swap now is for josh to go thru my tranny, install my lsd, and possibly throw in a 4.7 final drive. I'll be seeing you tommorow night.

lol oh ya the spring on my timing belt tensioner broke last weekend Luckily the belt didnt skip its just flapping around alot. my car is down until i can tow it to work and fix it. I have been driving my bus.

haha..nice.

If josh doesnt have time to fix it, just drop it off at my place, bob and i can have it done in a day.

Josh wasnt too eager to help us the other week when we were doing the auto to manual swap, which pissed me off, but we figured it out anyways without his help. lol

too late the standard ones are already on thier way. does that tiny bit of caster really make that big of a difference? i'm more of a drag guy but i like to turn once in a while too.
I think i'll give the steering rack bracket a try later any thoughts on that one?

Re: front lower control arm bushings same as rsx?

this is super old but i just want to close this out. the lower arm bushings (or if you have like me) shperical bearings from an rsx do fit the perfectly on a 7th gen civic.
