AP2 Front Caster Eccentric
I had my alignment done and the guy said my front driver-side caster eccentric is seizing up. Having not seen the part myself I'm having trouble finding the part #. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!!

If it's not seized, you should have told your alignment guy to pull the sleeve and put some anti seize on it. Once the sleeve is stuck in the bushing the only way to take it out is to cut it and press in a new bushing.
I've heard of someone using a bearing puller to force out a seized eccentric sleeve. I had some luck using a balljoint press to remove a seized front camber eccentric.

There is no OEM replacement for any of the suspension bushings, plenty of aftermarket ones thou. Hardrace, Spoon, Mugen etc
I would think he meant the lower rear one (this is also the most common one to fail) you can see the adjustment bolt and nut in the diagram.

It's called the compliance bushing. Search on here, you'll see what's involved. Gonna have to cut out the bolt, so arm can be removed. Then press out old bushing, press in new one (shop press or rent ball joint puller and fabricate a driver from exhaust pipe adapters. Search for thread on how to).
You'll need the new bushing from Mugen, etc. Then from Honda the bolt, eccentric washer, and nut.
Lube, lube, lube the new parts with antiseize, so you don't have same thing happen again.

If you can find someone with a bent arm they'd probably be willing to sell it for cheap, Then you can harvest the bushings and swap them in. I got CR compliance bushings on my car ATM.
You'll also have to replace this part at minimum, since you'll be slicing this in 1/3rds, pull the bolt out before cutting, then you won't have to replace that too, it also makes the job easier.
