Default replacing old bushings, can anyone help??


alrite ive already priced out a urethane bushing kit but since i only want to change 3 bushings asap i was wondering if anyone has heard of those universal bushings you can get at any hardware store and if so is there is any chance of them fitting or modifying them to.


I know this is hack but ive been trying to certify my car all summer and just want to eFfing DRIVE for a month or two then i plan on doing the urethane swap.

any opinions wood be great

Say 'Hello' to your rear suspension!

6 = Compensator Arm
3 = Trailing Arm
4 = Lower Control Arm
1 (or 7) = Upper Control Arm
And now you know!
edit: I did not draw that lol. Its a pretty cool diagram though.

I don't think you'll find a bushing at a hardware store.

If ur in a rush, just go to a local honda dealership, and they should have them in stock. I just replaced some this week as well, and they weren't too expensive. Got hooked up for pressing them in, which was a bonus.
