My 2004 EX bushings are shot. It is a daily driver about to hit 100,000 miles. I know I can remove the arms and have new bushings pressed in.
My question is about replacement lower arms with bushings already installed. Any feed back on the Beck/Arnley, Dorman, AISIN, or Moog brand from RockAuto?
I've read threads where Moog quality may not be great, not much opinion on the B/A, AISIN, or Dorman.
Thanks

Honestly, it would be wiser to go with a hard rubber bushing from a company like Hard Racing. It'll last you far longer.

I don't want to stiffen the ride with a hard bushing. I'd like to keep it close to original.
Spoke with local repair shop yesterday, he believes Beck/Arnley is good quality. Anyone try them yet?

Is there any way to buy just the complance bushings im only finding the complete bushings set for the ep3

A hard rubber bushing will yield very little impact to the ride quality (if anything). You're thinking in terms of a polyurethane or spherical joint, which would stiffen up the ride.


Umm, the EP3 set can be used on your car. As can the DC5 set. They're the same bushings.

Well I am an oem guy I did my compliance bushing genuine through Honda Dealer in 2008 (end) and is still going great no damage to them yet. You can go after market but I have one transmission mount of that company put into my civic the got cracked and replace it with genuine recently. I am not saying all after market stuff is bad but I like genuine stuff. Hope this help.

I decided to order the complete arm with bushing from Beck/Arnley, and the Aisin timing belt kit.
My local shop told me the Beck/Arnley was good quality, and I read good reviews of the Aisin timing belt kit.
Time will tell.
