Using the K - Tuned Compliance Arm is straightforward. First, make sure your car model is one of the applicable ones: 1992 - 2000 Civic (except EM1) or 1994 - 2001 Acura Integra. If you're converting your EM1 one - piece LCA, use this arm with the front LCA. When installing, take your time to ensure a proper fit. As for maintenance, regularly check the bushings for wear. If you notice any signs of damage or excessive wear, replace them promptly. The rubber bushings are durable, but in harsh driving conditions, they may need more frequent inspections. For race cars with spherical bushings, check for smooth movement of suspension components before each race. Keep the parts clean to prevent dirt and debris from affecting performance.
