Default Potential problem

While looking around today, I noticed this....
Is this going to give me any potential problems? I'm assuming I have to replace the whole control arm since Honda doesn't sell the bushing alone.

No, that's the lower ball joint, you want the upper. I'm not sure if it's something you can get from honda, although I know multiple companies make high quality aftermarket replacements.

Just confirmed, if you want OEM upper ball joint, you have to buy the entire A-arm. But like I said, there are other aftermarket companies that make higher quality replacements for the OEM ball joint. I believe Eibach makes them....although theirs might only be offset ball joint replacements...
