Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Rear suspension clunking from worn control arm bushings
• Loose or inconsistent rear handling on Honda Civic and Acura RSX platforms
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by worn suspension pivot points
• Factory alignment issues after bushing or arm wear
• Noise and vibration from deteriorated rear upper suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Install GS60173 on the rear upper position only for the listed vehicles. Verify vehicle year, make, model, and suspension position before installation, and inspect adjacent bushings, links, and fasteners for wear while the suspension is apart. Because this is a non-adjustable OE-style arm, final alignment should be checked after installation to confirm suspension settings are within specification.
