ok...strut problem, hard to explain - Honda Prelude Forum

Ok, a while back, i added a rear and front strut tower bar to my whip. As i was putting the rear on, it was kinda cramped due to my subs so i was kinda working blind. I got one strut loose and put the bracket over. As i was trying to tighten the bolts back on, i was somewhat tightening the bolt a little side ways and it ended up screwing up the threads. To avoid taking apart the suspension, i went out and got a dye to re-machine the threads as a temporary solution. I was leaving for school the next day and didn't have time to screw around with replacing the part. But now, im thinking of putting on new springs and i need to get the part replaced. Its basically the bolts coming off of the strut that attach it to the strut tower. Any idea where i can get that replaced?

You the f'ing man....

it list the parts as RR...thats not right rear is it?? I assume the parts are symmetrical.....

theyre symmetrical if i remember right.

You can also go to your local dealer and get it, they usually get things in overnight so you won't have to wait as long but it will be a few bucks more (maybe not after shipping from online).

Also, it says 2DR si and 2dr si SPL..i have the si with the h23 in it..so i guess im just the 2 DR si..

ALSO, what the hell do i put for emission type? Most of the stuff i need is body so i guess it wouldn't make a difference?

nevermind, i figured it out

munscher · 08-04-2003, 09:42 AM

Correct, just 2 DR Si

KA=49 state emissions
KL=cali emissions

4MT= 4 speed manual tranny
5MT = 5 speed manual tranny
AT = auto tranny
