EP3 OEM tie rod arms for DC5

[andrew84tran]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to buy a set of shortened, rethreaded tie rod arms (EP3 OEM) off a member on clubitr for my DC5R. I looked up the part numbers and they're different but I am aware it will fit. So the question is, is this a wise choice? Will the EP3 arms be able withstand the stress on a DC5R?

Load isn't an issue. The difference is negligible. Since I now have a set of J's Racing tie rods you could DIY my old tie rods if you feel brave enough. Tinkerbell could give you some advice on what to do.

The part number is different so Honda can track sales of OEM parts better. They can determin sales for each vehicle better internally. All manufacturers do it to some extent.
