90HondaDA

Did yours go out?? I just got my blox LCAs in

EHondaJDM

the bushings suck that come in them, you should r&r them before installing the lcas

the kybs should fit if theyre for stock arms, the stock ones fit....

if not... make em fit

90HondaDA

Thank god i ordered all energy bushings

EhondaJDM - OEM bushings will fit blox lca's?

90HondaDA

EHondaJDM

Nevermind* thanks for the link.

How much do shops usually charge to install bushings

EHondaJDM

all of them

alot

its alot of work

90HondaDA

that doesn't come with rear trailing arm bushing or anything

EHondaJDM

its the master set, everythings included, dont know why it doesnt mention it

you can get them for 140 at vatozone also, no egay drama

i have one, it has everything front and back

90HondaDA

yeah so 130+140 is more than the 230 i payed for em both

kelviiv

how about for just lca bushings?

kelviiv

would it be possible to push these new bushings in myself?

i've read that blox bushings are easy to take it out due to there quality...

EHondaJDM

Their real easy. Use a hand press to put them in.

kelviiv

even for new bushings? i bought kybs to put into my blox lca's

ok for clarification. im sure if you search ebay you can probably find an energy suspension rear lower control arm bushing set. on the oem honda rear lower control arms you have to burn the old bushings out, or at least thats what i did. I got some funny looks from the neighbors putting a big propane torch to a piece of metal clamped to a wood table, but thats besides the point. after you burn the factory bushings out you have to hacksaw the metal sleeves out(i found that hacksawing the sleeve in to 2 pieces then using an air chisel to get it out worked really well) from where the bushings were before you install the enery suspension ones. If you dont get the old sleeves out the new bushings will not fit. i just used some silicone spray on the bushings and pressed them in by hand and then hammered the metal sleeve that the bolts go through in later. it all sounds like a pain but its really pretty easy. as far a blox lca's go they are junk for the most part. the bushings usually tear in a couple months. unless you want "the look" just put energy bushings in your factory lca's. if you still have them.

Just click on this link. Ebay auction for the energy bushings.

as far as fittment they should be pretty universal for honda lca's. im running crx rear lca's on my gen 3 integra and the bushings fit nicely.

there are diameter changes over the years. eg bushings for example won't fit a 94+ integra

the hardest part about doing es bushings is pressing your old ones out,. if you can pick up a 20 ton press at harbor freight it will save you a lot of headache. installing the new ones is easy, a simple vice can do it.

90HondaDA

I went and bought a 12 ton press at harbor freight for 80 bucks they were on sale

racebum

let us know if it works. the 12ton i've heard is borderline on pushing bushings. a lot of guys would probably like to know if it would work since it's under half the price of the 20ton

Burning them out is much more fun. And it puts on a nice show after it catches on fire. My yard smelled like my local drag strip when I was done though. hehe

90HondaDA

Didn't get the chance to get the press together tonight worked on the bros civic fogs instead

For the rear trailing arm u can get they schley tool. After re-doing my whole suspension which was a pain, I had the most fun with the schley tool and the ES RTA bushings.
I didn't kno kyb made bushings for rear LCA. Either way I don't recommend anybody putting blox on their car. I bought a set in june and after 3 mnths of daily driving they crapped out. So I buy the ES bushings to swap them out and they didn't even fit. So I went back to stock. Also, if u have a teggy, the sway bar endlinks don't even mount up correctly.
