Default Which bushings wear the most?

Which bushings typically wear the most in Honda double-wishbone suspensions..which make the largest difference when replaced in an older car?

Probably any of the load-bearing lower control arm bushings, as well as the big trailing arm bushings.

Don't use polyurethane, though, unless you want to change them out all over again in just a couple of years. Stick with OEM rubber or OE replacements.

im going to agree with patrick. the LCA bushings get the worst of it.

also, the rear upper arm, especially the inner dogbone bushing gets a lot of abuse because of its configuration and the angle of the short control arm.

but really, any and all bushings can go bad.

im guessing you drive a prelude? i dunno anytihng about preludes, but there might even be prelude specific bushings that need more attention too.

just gotta check each out.
