No, LCA's are the same 2WS and 4WS.

I couldn't find them on Sunday, will have to have another look this Sunday.

@louckie - I found the LCAs in the barn, still connected (I seem to remember I couldn't get the bolts out). Pics below

You're welcome to them, but you would need to arrange to collect the whole thing from Oxford

Please let me know if you would want them, as I am moving out of the barn I use for a garage at end of Jan, so all the bits I have lying around will be getting tossed.

Ha mine were seized too, i got one out after a lot of effort, but the other was seized so badly that i could see the captive nut move when we tried to turn the bolt, we put a breaker bar on both ends and that cracked it off, but the captive nut also came off and i had to go get it welded back on

that rear lca bolt is the worst bolt on the car imo

you can always undo one side ok but guaranteed the other side will f**k u up

I have had the nut break off there before, too.

It's not unique to Preludes/Honda's tbf, but that doesn't help things!

louckie I wasn't able to get to the barn last weekend - had too much work on and running round after a sick animal.
I can't recall if I got the bolts out clean or not (I think I did) but I recall the bushes were very tired, so they'd need re-bushing anyway - probably best you just re-bush your existing ones like you've suggested.
