Default Front Upper Control Arm Suspension Fix - Bolts and Nuts x 2

If you own your S2000 for a while you may eventually find that the threads on the welded nuts of the upper front control arms can strip out due to corrosion. . This becomes apparent when swapping suspension parts, and it can leave you in a pickle in the middle of a job. One fix would be to chisel or cut off the threaded nut from the gusset plate, and reweld a new one on there, lots of time, proper tools, and sourcing of parts needed for this, and Honda has no fix for this repair. .

When it happened to me I sourced out some Honda suspension bolts and nuts that turned out to be a perfect fix. These are OEM Honda suspension parts that fit properly and will hold the torque and gives 100% proper alignment. It's a quick 2 minute fix with these parts. Nothing worse than having this happen in the middle of a suspension job. I've got two bolts and two nuts in original packaging never used, Honda OEM parts.

$20 shipped. $15 picked up. located in London, On. Send pm if you need more info.

I'm surprised no one needs these yet, don't wait until yours break as you will be in a pickle when it happens, get these in case it happens to your S2000, cheap insurance to have. bump
