Skunk2 Front LCA – Spherical Bearing – ’96–’00 Civic | 542‑05‑M540

Eliminate suspension slop and elevate your handling with the Skunk2 Spherical Bearing Front Lower Control Arm for the 1996–2000 Honda Civic (DX, LX, EX). Designed to replace the original elastomer bushings, this LCA uses a high-load steel spherical bearing to maintain perfect geometry under any load, resulting in sharper steering, better response, and precise feedback.

Constructed from forged alloy steel cores, the arm is reinforced by precision CNC-machined bearing cups, TIG welded in place, and finished in zinc plating for corrosion resistance. The bearing is retained with clip locks and incorporates misalignment bushings for excellent durability and freedom of movement under high loads. For the Civic Si model, a compliance arm (P/N 542‑05‑M570) is required for compatibility.

Key Features:

• Forged alloy steel core construction

• Precision CNC-machined and TIG-welded bearing cups
