If you're not mechanically inclined, pay someone to do it.

 

You have to disassemble the T/A assembly get the old one pressed out and get the new one pressed in.

Its not that hard I can get both t/a's out and back in about an hour.

Good luck!

 

I've seen the prothane replacement bushings are those any good?
btw thanks for helping

This looks lilke an interesting tool to simply things as one would not have to take off the TA from the car.

Yes, It is a nice thing to have for sure. But its not that hard to take it all apart, plus you get faster and more efficient at doing the work.

 

Serdar;

Buy the replacement bushings and then before removing the arms, find a machine shop with a press that is willing to do the work. That way you don't have to search for a machine shop while the car is apart.

Removing the arm is staightforward, but the actual installing of the bushing in the arm requires a press.

The best prices I have seen are on Kingmotorsports.com 110 for the Mugen CRX bushings or the same for OEM DA bushings (if you have DA brakes in the rear)
there has to be a better price though. Anyone know if mugen made DA bushings?

 

just buy them from honda they were less than $40 each side when I did mine last year

 

where can you rent them from
and i have a 91 civic hatch and i just got a rear disc setup from a friend and he got them from password jdm is there a way to tell what trailing arms i have and what bushings to git
there is 2 sizes rights what are thay

no they didnt but theres a simple way to use mugens with da rears, i am using them with my da rears. take out the stock ta bushings, burn the rubber out of the stock bushings, have the ring pressed onto the mugen bushing, install mugen ta bushings.

oh and taking off and putting on the bushings, i just hit it with a hammer

 

OK....

If you have the DA trailing arms you can use the Mugen bushings available at kingmotorsorts.com. I'm not sure about anything else concerning what types to use or how to put em in. Wes Vanns page is more than sufficient information. Peace

 

cool thanks for the info guys! will be replace soon BTW where can I rent one of those tools?

 

ive rented tools from pepboys gave them a deposit and then they gave me the deposit back once i returned it. rent tools for free. done it twice thre with a spring compressor. look into that i dont know what the deal is

 

what are the mugen bushings made from, are they stiffer than the es bushings?
