The drivers side rear suspension is all jacked on this car. The part was cracked when the car slid into a curb. The pictures are shown below, the weld is cracked and the wheel is bent severely because of it.

I would like to know what the specific name is of the part, and if anyone knows where I would be able to get a replacement, and about how much would it cost.

We tried to bolt a brace to it but still no dice.

Any help would be great!

thats the rear subframe
get it from honda directly or from a civic in a junk yard

IALuder · 03-08-2004, 03:26 PM

^ i would go to the dealer first. i wouldnt try getting a used one.

*pdiggitydogg* · 03-08-2004, 05:04 PM

Id go for the used
mostly, it doesnt see a TON of action other than the daily driver stuff...it'd probably be fine

03-08-2004, 08:11 PM

alright cool, does anyone know of a website i could go to? or maybe a phone number to call?

thanks for your help guys

the best place to go for junkyard parts is this place

there yeah go

03-08-2004, 08:27 PM

ok... so the name of the part is a "rear subframe" ?

my options are :

rear suspension
rear trailing arm
rear locating arm

... < = noob

*pdiggitydogg* · 03-08-2004, 08:55 PM

yes, but it is also known as rear crossmember Dont use a site that forces you to use a prefabbed list...call a local place out of your phone book
(be sure to specify rear of the vehicle...MANY people get confused and think front end dealing w/ steering)

03-08-2004, 09:03 PM

alright thanks guys, now i know what it is i'm looking for, i'll call the local dealership to find out where / how much.

it's called a cross beam. you may wanna try the local junkyards, but from what i see it is welded on, not screwed on like the newere civics and accords

well damn so i would probably have to buy a fairly large peice i take it...

would it be easier to grind off the old weld and re-weld it? what type of weldrod would i use on that stuff?

*pdiggitydogg* · 03-09-2004, 05:46 PM

no, you can just buy that piece
(people that run large diameter rear sway bars often break this part and have it replaced)

I really doubt just welding up the tear is going to really fix it, but it would certainly do for a tempory fix as long as you dont do some serious driving/turing.

ShagginJet · 03-09-2004, 06:26 PM

Isn't this the same piece i fuxed up on my car....?

R u serious that this isn't part of the car? I can just replace it... I thought this was part of the body and that I needed to have it welded back together...?

ebpda9 · 03-09-2004, 06:52 PM

on those it looks like it's part of the car. on newer ones they are held on to the car with 4 screws

*pdiggitydogg* · 03-09-2004, 06:54 PM

you can replace it, yes.
but it is easier to weld it back up as a temp fix so you can drive it to the jyard to get your new used subframe off another civic

ShagginJet · 03-09-2004, 06:55 PM

How weird... I'll have to check that out this weekend. If it can be done myself then f*ck taking it anywhere.

*pdiggitydogg* · 03-09-2004, 08:44 PM

if you can weld then you can easily do it w/ the part, a jack, a square or 2, and your welder.

Some say that its bolted, some say its welded...it varies per generation and I dont know enough to say for sure.

ebpda9 · 03-10-2004, 07:54 AM

on the pre-92's it's welded. 92 and up it's bolted.

ShagginJet · 03-10-2004, 06:56 PM

So if i get that welded back together is it going to be steady enough for day to day driving? Should i even bother?

*pdiggitydogg* · 03-10-2004, 07:26 PM

yeah it'd be fine. thats the whole point
its only welded around the edges anyways
but if youre still afraid just run so big bolts through the center
