Alright it seems that there is no information about using the full front spindles from the v6 accord that are 5 lug 98-01? Respectively. Someon confirmed that the hubs will not fit for the conversion... With the inner diameter or something being smaller or what ever. So I went down to my friends junkyard here in dfw and took some front spindles off the following vehicles to compare them: 90-93accord, 94-97 accord and 99 accord v6 5 lug and last but not least a 96 3.2 tl ( I actually think these will work too) I measured the first 3 and compared them and yeppers they all have really similar design and same lower ball joints. Now you CANNOT switch the upper a arm but the rest of the 99 v6 knuckle fit like a charm. I have them bolted in and look beautiful. The 96 tl's front arm of the knuckle is almost identical as well. There was a slight difference in the bend but not enough I do not think to warrant not using them. They were missing the brake lines and one caliper so I stuck with the 99. I will post pix of this section soon. Now on to the rears:
My newly aquired cb has rear drums... Can't roll like that so... I know the lure rear discs will work but I was NOT about happy about the thought of buying 4 lug rear disc just to tear them up to make 5 lug rear. But reluctantly I went in search and landed both rear 4 lug disc from a 95 ex for 75 with brake cables and all. Then I was looking at that 96 3.2 rear 5 lug and I'll be dang.... They have identical mounting locations, identical calipers and mounting brackets and identical length brake cables and all. The differnce is the depth of the rotor and that it sits further off the spindle due to the hub being about 1/2" longer. So I went ahead and compared them fully. Upper arms are the same, rear suspension same with same mounting points, same rear sway bar mounts inthe trailing arms, same trailing arms as the 90-93 and the 94-97. Just the distance.... So we will see soon..... Pix to come.
these are the tl rears I will take some shots later of the mounting points on them so everyone can SEE they are identical to CB/CD
This is the body style
I know there is some rust on the rotor, it has been raining alot here and that is all surface from sitting in the rain.... The rotors are new with new pads.... they are getting turned tomorrow.
This is kind of a dark shot but you can see the tie rod mounted JUST like cb
here it is on the 00 v6 4dr EX
a better shot of the tie rod mounted to the underside just like the CB
