SUSP : Rear 5-Lug Conversion

[BustedLX]

I didn't have to replace any ball joints. They where all tight. I probably eventually will but it's not a priority now. Seperating them is no bid deal, there are several ways to do it. Just be careful with the dust boot. If you break them don't sweat it, just buy new ones, they're only a few bucks.

did you have to replace the balljoints in the front knuckle of the odyssey? what about the ball joints in the upper a-arm? any tips in doing that as well as removing the accord knuckle? balljoints scare me .

If you have the whole Prelude then yeah just take all the parts from that. You must use the ITR rotors in the rear. The Preludes won't work.

oh really i see now. well i am just saying i have a totaled prelude that i am stripping parts from. got it really cheap. so thats y. i have the whole lude and will take anything i can from it. thats why i ask jose. and for the rotors in the front they are of course rotor over hub. i have the car in a storage facility so i havent had time to take it apart or look at it.

so since i do have the lude do u think its worth to use the knuckles, front lower control arms, and crossmember. and since u said that the itr lude and odyssey rotors are the same for the front.

but the rear u put in this diy to use itr rear rotors. is that right.

thanks alot man its really helpful!

well i have a friend that bought a lude and he is parting the brake setup for me with the swirly lude rims. and i wanted to know if i can use the lude fronts instead of the odyssey parts. and if i can wut other parts i need. i already have the vtec calipers from a 95 lude
thanx

If you want to use the 97+ Lude front knuckles you will also need the front lower control arms, lude crossmember, and etc. It's really not worth it. The Odyssey knuckles are a direct replacement. If you already have the 95 vtec calipers and brackets, then all you would need are the knuckles and itr, 97+ lude, or odyssey rotors (they're all the same).

Yes that's right. I haven't heard anything on the front write-up. The front is super easy though, what do yo uwant to know?

Thanks man, its gonna be awhile before I can do that cuz I'm broke haha.

[BustedLX]

would that conversion be the same for drum brakes?

No you must first convert your Drum brakes to Disc brakes and then convert from that.
