Carnage on the way to work. I need a new hub im guessing. Someone hook me up. Bumming rides isn't exactly my cup of tea, i have money in hand..just need to know where to pick up.

The story...I was on my way to work like nothing was up and i was probably a mile away from work while driving my car decided to drop and make a grinding sound so i look out side my drivers window and yet my tire is folded all the way up into the wheel well and the control arm was grinding on the inner rim. It was real fun getting it on the flatbed last night

...was that bolt already broken I'm guessing?

Yeah. snapped it a year ago. It was fine til today. Does anyone know if the coupe and hatch trailing arm are the same?

yeah, they should be identical for all 'EK' models...

actually, I believe they are the same for all 88-00 civics/integras too... the only difference would be the LCA's and the 'dogbone' on the front

I know Moook had a rear disk conversion he bought for "the miracle whip" that he sold to AJ for his hatch, so I know EK's and EG's are the same... and at very least, I have an EG rear disk conversion from a Del Sol that I could sell you :biggrin:

I almost did this yesterday except it was on the inside of the control arm. I somehow snapped a bolt and it has hanging out by about an inch. Mine was an easier fix then this will be. Good luck Chris.
