Hi guys,

thinking of replacing all the suspension bushings on my 1990 CRX si with b16a1, any suggestions to what I should use? Would u guys recommend stock oem parts for a daily driver? Also does anyone have a list of parts or suppliers they can recommend? I reside in Toronto, Ontario Canada.

thanks alot!

OEM.

look into buying the complete arm instead of individual bushings. buying a complete rear lower control arm is cheaper than the bushings alone.


i highly discourage the use of poly bushings.

Buying the individual bushings is actually cheaper than the whole arm by around $24bucks. But with the work involved to press the bushings out and then back in, I'd just spend the extra $ on the whole arm.

Ditto on the use of poly, expecially for a street car.

 

hmm yeah youre right. i must have figured the cost of having a brand new, freshly painted arm into it when i bought the complete arm.

52350-SH3-G11 ARM, R. RR. (LOWER) $69.48


52365-SH3-000 BUSH, RR. ARM (LOWER) (YAMASHITA) $14.58
52365-SH3-000 BUSH, RR. ARM (LOWER) (YAMASHITA) $14.58
52622-SH3-010 BUSH, RR. SHOCK ABSORBER (LOWER) $14.78 = $43.94

 

the only way to go...

Well don't forget about the cost of having someone press the bushings for you. The only local machine shop that I could find in the yellow pages charged me $10 each bushing. I found that route to be more cost effective when there were two or less in each arm (like front LCA). Rear LCAs, however, have 3 bushings each. That would cost $30 each LCA in press fees alone, so in that case I would much rather buy the whole arm new...

If I had a press in my garage, I'm sure I would do things differently...

 

plus also you can sell the used ones for $40/pair...

 

anybody want to buy one of my old used pairs? $40
