im confused

I tthink the issue may be the fact it's 92 to 01. I'm fairly sure they changed between 4th and 5th generation preludes.

Had a dig. That appears to be a lh track rod end for a 97-01 5th generation Prelude. The 92-96 4th generation prelude lh track rod end looks like:

thanks mate,so basically i have the wrong date on the listing and its a 5th gen rod end,thanks again john

just noticed another post and it says the gen 4 and 5 are interchangable is this correct,if so my parts are stamped with the wrong letters L instead of R,thanks for all your help in advance john

I'll check the honda parts catalogue later man. See what it says. Confusing stuff!

Don't suppose they have part numbers on them? 4th gen lh track rod end is def 53560-SS0-003 if that helps.

this is a genuine Honda parts LH track rod end for a 5th gen prelude

just picture it upside down and you will see it is the same as this 1 above, and different to the 1 you are enquiring about

hello mate yes i have seen this,its just the gen 4 and 5 interchangable i need now,honda part numbers don't mean that much ,if there like nissan ones they use a few different numbers for the same part just because it fits a different model and sometimes its a different part number because its 1-2mm longer/shorter which makes no difference at all because its going to be tracked anyway,many thanks john
