Complete Front Suspension Kit: 10-Piece Ball Joints & Control Arms for 1993-97 Honda Civic del Sol

Your 1993-1997 Honda Civic del Sol is a decades-old car, and its front suspension has probably never been fully refreshed. Ball joints develop play. Control arm bushings crack. Steering turns vague, tires wear unevenly, and the car stops tracking straight down the road.

The Suspension 10pcs Front Ball Joints Control Arms Kit fixes that in one order. It replaces the complete front-end wear set — control arms, ball joints, six additional suspension components, plus every bolt, nut, and cotter pin — with parts built to OEM specifications. No hunting down five separate part numbers, and no mixing worn leftovers with new pieces that then wear at different rates.

What You Get: 10 Pieces, Listed Out

One check before you buy: this kit is engineered specifically for the 1993-1997 Civic del Sol. Verify your exact model year and trim before ordering, because a suspension kit is only useful if it bolts straight on.

Why Worn Ball Joints and Control Arms Are a Safety Problem

Ball joints are the pivot point between your wheels and the suspension. When they wear out, steering play grows, alignment drifts, and in the worst case a ball joint can separate completely. The ball joints in this kit use threaded studs with cotter pin holes for secure attachment — exactly the design feature that prevents that kind of catastrophic failure.

Restored handling

Fresh control arms and ball joints bring back precise steering response and proper wheel alignment. The car points where you steer again, instead of wandering and needing constant small corrections.

Corrosion protection

Every component carries a protective coating that resists rust and corrosion. That extends service life through rain, road salt, and winter grime — and it keeps the parts looking professional while they do it.

One kit, zero guesswork

Buying pieces one at a time invites compatibility mistakes and repeat shipping fees. This kit covers every critical front wear point in one purchase, so everything wears evenly and works together as a system.

Fitment: Every 1993-1997 del Sol Trim

• 1993 Honda Civic del Sol (all trims)
• 1994 Honda Civic del Sol (all trims)
• 1995 Honda Civic del Sol (all trims)
• 1996 Honda Civic del Sol (all trims)
• 1997 Honda Civic del Sol (all trims)

The kit is engineered specifically for the second-generation Honda Civic del Sol platform. Components are designed to match factory specifications exactly, so fitment and performance stay true to what the car had when it left the factory.

Installation: What the Job Involves

Professional installation is recommended for this upgrade. The work involves torque-critical fasteners on safety components, so it is not the place to improvise.

1. Lift the vehicle and remove the wheels
2. Disconnect the existing suspension components
3. Remove the worn ball joints and control arms
4. Install the new components with proper torque specifications
5. Perform a wheel alignment after installation

Tools you need on hand

• Jack stands
• A full socket set
• A torque wrench
• Ball joint press tools (may be needed to seat the new joints)

Honda-Tech.com technical resources stress that proper ball joint replacement is central to steering precision and vehicle safety. In practice that means correct torque on every threaded stud and a properly installed cotter pin on each one.

Do not skip the alignment

A professional wheel alignment is absolutely necessary once the new parts are in. Skipping it produces uneven tire wear and sloppy handling that owners often blame on the new components.

While the Front End Is Apart: Tie Rod Ends

Tie rod ends live in the same environment as ball joints, and on 1990s Hondas they tend to wear on a similar schedule. With the front suspension already opened up, swapping tie rods in the same session saves you a second teardown later. Three options worth a look:

• The 4x For 1994-1997 Integra Civic del Sol Steering Inner Outer Tie Rod Ends Set — a four-piece inner and outer set covering 1994-1997 del Sol applications.
• The 4 Pc Steering Set For Integra Civic del Sol Civic Inner & Outer Tie Rod Ends — another complete inner and outer steering set for the same family of cars.
• The 4pc Front Upper Control Arm Tie Rod End Kit For 1993-1997 Honda Civic Del Sol — this one matches the full 1993-1997 model-year span of the suspension kit above.
