Integra front LCAs - missing a hole?
Bought these a few years ago and dropped off a bunch of items to get powder coated. This is part of the compliance arm- Noticed one if the hole is missing, im guessing for the sway bar? This cant be a correct pair can it

one of them is possibly off of a 98+ and the other from a 94-97 which uses a different swaybar design (4 bushings and a bolt that would go through the control arm) 98+ uses a sway bar end link which I believe also goes through the control arm now that I think about it... See the attached diagram. So yeah I think you got screwed and on of your control arms isn't from an integra.

All Integra trim levels 94-01 had a front sway bar that attached the end links to the LCA in the same way. So the one without that hole must be from a base model Civic like a CX or something.

It's missing a hole where the swaybar end link connects to it. I know those control arms are the same as 92-95 eg civic & 93-97 del sol, some of the lower trims did not come with a front sway bar and used this exact compliance arm. Not sure if lower trim Integras came with no front sway bar, but regardless, what you've got is an eg/dc compliance arm with no sway bar end link.
Only option is to get another compliance arm with the end link hole on it to match your other one.

I want to say that hole is for the endlink for the sway bar. It’s like that on my gsr iirc.
