SuperPro Front Lower Control Arms for 08-12 Accord/09-14 TSX

SuperPro Front Lower Control Arms - 09-14 Acura TSX & 08-12 Honda Accord

Your front lower control arms locate the front wheels and tie them to the chassis, and they do it through bushings. From the factory those bushings are soft rubber, which rides nicely when new but doesn't age well. By the time these cars have real miles on them, the rubber has cracked, softened, and started to deflect under load, and that's when the front end starts to feel tired. This SuperPro kit is a complete pair of front lower control arms that arrive fully assembled with upgraded SuperPro polyurethane bushings already pressed in, so you replace the whole worn-out assembly in one shot instead of fighting old parts.

What Worn Bushings Actually Cost You

This is why the upgrade matters, not just the fact that the old ones are old. Every time you brake, turn, or accelerate, the control arm is loaded, and a soft or cracked rubber bushing lets the arm move more than it should. When the arm shifts, your alignment shifts with it, so your toe and camber are moving around exactly when you need them to stay put. You feel that as vague, wandering steering, clunks over bumps, and uneven tire wear that eats a set of fronts early. Restoring that corner of the suspension brings back the precise, planted feel the car had when it was new.

The SuperPro Bushing Upgrade

SuperPro replaces the factory rubber with their polyurethane bushings, and the difference is control. Poly deflects far less than rubber under load, so the arm stays where it's supposed to and your alignment holds steady through hard braking and cornering. The payoff is sharper turn-in, steering that feels connected instead of mushy, and tire wear that stays even because the geometry isn't wandering. Be aware of the honest trade-off that comes with any firmer bushing: you'll feel a little more of the road than you did on worn-out rubber. SuperPro tunes these to keep harshness in check, but a performance bushing transmits more feedback by design. For most people chasing a tighter front end, that's the whole point.

No Pressing, No Fighting Old Parts

Here's the part that makes this an easy weekend job. Because the arms come fully assembled with the bushings already installed, you skip the worst part of a bushing job entirely. There's no hydraulic press, no burning or cutting old rubber out of a rusty arm, no battle to drive new bushings into a 15-year-old casting. The old arms come off, the new complete arms bolt on, and you're done. That makes this a realistic DIY upgrade, and a fast one for a shop, which is a big part of its value.

Install Notes

Two things to plan for. First, this kit does not include ball joints, so you'll reuse your factory ball joints, and while you're in there it's worth inspecting them and replacing them separately if they're worn. Second, any time you change control arms you need a front alignment afterward, so budget for that to set your toe and camber correctly once the new arms are on. The kit includes both arms and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
