I am attempting a complete overhall of my suspension bushings that are 150K old and BEAT. And after reading dozens of threads I haven't found anything helpful. I have already purchased the Hardrace bushing kit. It includes: Front upper and lower control arm bushings, rear toe arm bushings, rear trailing arm bushings, and rear upper and lower control arm bushings.

Here is the pic of what I bought:



So my question is, what else do I need that is important? I spent some time looking at the Mugen bushing diagram for my car but it didn't really help me, because I don't really know what I am looking at in terms of bushing names.

I would greatly appreciate the person that can point out what other bushings I should replace to improve steering feel and performance. My suspension feels pretty sloppy compared to what it used to be. Here is the Mugen bushing diagram just for reference.



Thank you very much in advance for your help!

 

it's all crap...and hopeless.... but I'll help by taking them off your hands....

seriously though, I think you're good for bushings, maybe another thing you'd want to consider are new front wheel bearings while things are off getting pressed.

....that is if those haven't already been replaced.

oh and also maybe some new swaybar bushings both for the Dbrackets and endlinks.

 

If steering feel is an issue, have a look at the steering rack bushings and tie rod ends.

Also, that diagram you posted is for a Type R, and it looks like the bushings you got are for a regular Integra. The only significant difference is the rear lower arm (item #11), but maybe that's causing some of the confusion?

Thanks. I actually knew the difference, I just didn't realize it by the picture.

I know my tie rod ends are good, but how much of an affect can steering rack bushings have? The rack was from a 97 Teg, so I have know idea about the miles.

I'm referring to the bits of rubber padding where the rack bolts to the firewall. I doubt they're bad; just thinking of what's between the steering wheel and tires that might go bad.

 

number 17 in the pics the top hat bushings. you can upgrade to type r ones if you wanted.
and the sway bar bushings and end links.

What kind of affect would changing the top hat bushing have. Would it be noticable.

What number are the end link bushings?
