one of the companies i deal with has started to offer a rear trailing arm bushing replacement for hondas.

as we all know the factory bushings suck and go out way too soon.


here are the options

we can get factory replacements but they cost way too much for something that crappy

also there are the energy suspension replacements, which if anyone has seen, you know how craptacular of a design they are. they are a solid bushing which should make for a stiff ride, but they do not come with the metal link installed, so you have to cut the factory link out and slide it in. the only problem is that you have a whole lot of play in it. it is not a good design

mugen makes a factory type replacment that is pretty much just a beefier version of the factory bushing. i have heard good things about it but i would imagine that they arnt cheap

finally prothane makes a really good replacment, but it is expensive as hell.


the kit i found is a solid replacement with the link made into the bushing. it has a design that locks it into place so that it does not risk sliding out of place like the energy suspension. they come in black red and blue colors. and best of all they have a liftime warranty. it is hard to beat that.


i am not a salesman or anything i just thought i would share with fellow honda tech members. you have to have a distributor account with this company in order to buy from them. the shop i work for has an account set up, so if it seems that enough people are interested i will post some of them for sale in the classified section. they will go for 50 per bushing. so for the mathematicaly challenged, that would be 100 bucks for a set. i wcould probablu even do a group buy if enough people seem interested.

once again i am no salesman but at the same time i have to make some profit in order to et my boss to go along with the idea. otherwise no one may ever hear of these parts and we will all be stuck buying the crappy or overpriced alternatives.

let me know what you guys think.


also i know that i might not have listed every company that makes stuff like this, and maybe you think that energy suspension is the bomb or whatever, just keep in mind i am not trying to pis anyone off i am just trying to throw honda tech a bone.

 

sounds good to me. Don' have the $$$, but when I do, Most likely.

 

good to hear

any body else
