I think its the trailing arm because its not the LCA.

i think you could pick up a bushing at honda or just do a rear disc swap and it comes with one. (another trailing arm i mean)

YES! it is a trailing arm....energy suspenstion makes a polleyurothane replacement kit fot it.....but u may run into problems with other bolts and bushiongs so it would be wise the get the entire rear end kit and do all the bushings.

Yes that's a rear trailing arm.

You can get Energy Suspension bushings for that arm, but IMO DON'T. It's an inferior design when compared to Prothane's trailing arm bushing. They don't have the mounting ears.

I run the entire Energy Sus bushing kit on my car, but the "complete" kit doesn't include those bushings so you have to buy them separate. I looked into them and the rear trailing arm bushing they sell don't work so well.

The Prothane versions include the entire assy with brass mounting ears. They are fairly easy to replace, but you will definately NEED to get your car aligned afterwards.
