Nice find.
Weird that they exist at all (I wonder if that same part fits Rover models and that's why developed for UK market/just cross-referenced across to Honda for their sale catalogue?) and even more odd that one part fits 1-3g!

As a neat little quirk, these also fit the steering rods on the rear of 4th and 5th gen's.

now that is interesting - tell me more :)
i wonder how they would compare - spherical bearing vs oem ball joint. guess it would not be as forgiving?
