Default Rear Lower Control arm bushing size?

Hello all, I thought I was switching 91 CRX discs and rear assemblies to my 91 Civic hatch. Ha ha. I ordered rear control arm bushings. I pressed out the bushings on the ends of the LCA and went to replace them with the new 91 CRX LCA bushings. Well, they are too small - the diameter of the new bushings is 30mm. The bushing openings are 35mm??
Can anyone tell me what Civic or integra uses 35mm LCA bushings? I noticed the hubs had ABS gears. That gives me a clue that the assemblies come from 92 or more. The parts store says they have no way of determining the diameter of any bushings I order. Hmmm. I guess I am not working with CRX rear hubs.
Toledo is just another stop along the good king's highway. Another improvement snagged by the long shadows of the parts conspiracy. HA!! Any ideas welcome. fobile missile.

OK, thanks. You're the best!!! I have investigated and found I am rebuilding Integra rear LCAs. The bushings are a little bit bigger than the civic bushings for the inner and outer.
In my trials I did find that the shock bushing (middle arm bushing) is the same size. How about that neuvo wavo senor!! HAha.
I get to return my civic bushings to the parts dealer autopartswarehouse.com but I have to pay a re-stocking fee. Something is better than nothing. Here goes an order for Integra size bushings!!!! WATCH OUT!!!!%^$%(@)$&_@$_!!!!!!!!

You can get the bushings from autopartswarehouse.com under the "replacement" banner. Follow the menu to suspension/ control arm bushings.
This is where I got the 1st set of bushings when I was under the misconception I was refurbishing a set of CRX disc hubs.
Now, I know I am working on Integra rear discs assemblies. HAha!!! What an education! Sooo.... I checked out all Integra models from 90 - 94. All use the same part number for the rear LCA inner and outer bushings. You can't go wrong!!!
However - I have an account with http://www.estore.honda.com. So I compared the prices: autopartswarehouse.com = about $92 free ship/ estore.honda = $88 tax and ship included. So I ordered from the estore.honda.com because the Acura dealership is an easy pickup stop.
I recommend any serious rebuilder make an account at estore.honda.com. The part-out pictures are good indexes when shopping. Good luck. fobile.
