I am trying to compile a list of all arm components.

I have a European MY08 and I got the following part numbers from the European Honda EPC.

52340-S2A-003 ARM COMP., R. RR. CONTROL
52345-S2A-003 ARM COMP., L. RR. CONTROL
52350-S2A-000 ARM COMP., R. RR. LOWER
52360-S2A-G00 ARM COMP., L. RR. LOWER
52390-S2A-000 ARM COMP., R. RR. UPPER
52400-S2A-J02 ARM COMP., L. RR. UPPER

51350-S2A-030 ARM COMP., R. FR. LOWER
51360-S2A-030 ARM COMP., L. FR. LOWER
51450-S2A-003 ARM ASSY., R. FR. UPPER
51460-S2A-013 ARM ASSY., L. FR. UPPER

My problem is the one marked in red.. I am trying to source all components from the USA (much cheaper) but this special part number does not seem to be available in the US.

Instead, in the US EPC i got the following part number:

52360-S2A-000

Now the question.. what's the difference between both pieces?

Stratocaster

In the US, the rear lower arm is the same for all year. I suspect the arm is the same world wide.

deibit

Yes, I suspect that too.. the classification number (G00 vs 000) sometines indicates different manufacturer but sometimes indicates that the parts are not interchangeable.. thats why I want to be sure..

Maybe someone knows what the -G00 usually mean?

(I plan to install polybushes in the new arms, and then exchange them my arms)

Stratocaster

I know that the -J00 is a JDM part, soothe G00 could be for another market. ?

It appear that the Xenon Load Sensor (the sensor that adjusts the headlights height) is fitted to the rear lower wishbone (suspicious...)

Do the USDM models have this sensor? (in Europe the Xenon equiped cars MUST have automatic height regulation..)

dc2-2-ap1

My MY01 does not have this sensor nor have I ever heard of this so I would say that all the vehicles made for U.S. Distribution did not come equipped with this. It looks like you will have to special order it. How is the sensor mounted. When you do the swap would you mind posting a picture of it so I can see it because I am kind of curious to see this. Are there little motors attached to the headlight adjustment points?

I did some research more..

The automatic regulation is only available for the KG, KE and KQ markets (Germany, UK, Australia).

Well, this thing with the markets it's always confusing.. the regulation is mandatory for all European cars (I guess Honda considers all continental Europe as "German").

So does not look like it's available for the US market (KA).

What I know about the sensor is that it detects the deflection of the rear axle at startup time and adjusts the Xenon light accordingly (it's not "real time" as in other cars, it performs the adjustement every some minutes..)

I will try to make a picture later.

Stratocaster

That ex aims the different part number. None of the US cars have this feature. We don't get the little headlight sprayers either

there we go with the pictures:
