i've seen worse, just clean it up and it should be good to go, make sure to use anti seize so that metal sleeve inside the bushing doesn't stick to the bolts.

 

worn. replace. you already have it all apart. new bolts too.

 

just depends on how deep its cracked through.

and ive seen A LOT worse than that.

 

Those bushings cost about 5 bucks each...do it right and you wont have to worry about it in the future...for a while anyways.

With what you pay to have them pressed out/in, its almost cheaper to buy a new set of LCAs from the dealer. Cheap aftermarket LCAs use worse materials than the stock bushings, do don't bet on those lasting very long.

The shop up the street from me did mine for free...asked me to bring them donuts instead. It takes less than 5 minutes to set up the press and about 1 minute a piece. Why would he use cheap bushings if they can be purchased from the dealer for cheap?

 

theyre more like $15 or more from honda.

they may be $5 from aftermarket, 'OEM quality' resellers.

at $130 for a pair of NEW lca, it was worth it to me to buy than buying the bushings indvidually and having them pressed in. simple math $15 x 6 = $90

 

Well I was absolutely wrong about the price. Their more than I'd remembered.

Thwe other option is Poly bushings.
