Default trailing arms question

is the trailing arms bushing from the 91 integra the same size in diameter and everything the same as the crx trailing arm bushing cause i have 91 integra trailing arms and the bushings for the crx are a lot cheaper than the integra ones so please let me know thanks

Becareful i bought 91 integra trailing arms and the bushing was small then my stock 91 crx bushing i bought energy sus trailing arm bushing for the crx thinking there all the same and that was not the case

all i did was take the spindle asembly off there is the one big nut and 4 or 5 tork(the tork bolts are under the back plate) bolts off the back and swap them over to my crx trailing arm and also use the crx front toe compensator arm on the front of the trailing arm or you will have trouble getting the rear alined

alot of stuff between DA's and EF's are the same. I don't know if you can just swap out the drum assembly for the disc assembly. I did the whole conversion (see thread above titled "crx oem brake upgrade") but mine was from a EF Si. Best thing to do is measure the total length of each trailing arm, and measure distances between bolts. If the measurements are the same, just put the whole DA trailing arm on the car. again, see the post i mentioned for detailed instructions. If you can, reply back and let me know if they are actually the same.

correct do you see the large nut and roek bolts i am talking about take nut off which is a 24mm and the tork bolts are a t47 should work and swap the whole assemblies and then replace the trailing arm bushing. you will also need brake hoses and a 4040 prop valve. are you putting integra brakes up front???

if so get the power booster and brake master cylinder off the integra

get some stainless steet braid brake hose for front and rear less hose expansion and better pedal feel

yeah even with out integra front brakes you need the 40/40 prop valve with out it you wll be putting more stress on the front brakes and the car wont stop evenly.

You wont get enough brake fluid to the rear

make sure you use a flare nut wrench if not you will round off the fittings.
