Anyone know of a source where I could get OEM upper control arm bushings? Honda doesn't sell them separately from the upper arms themselves.

 

I think Statracing or w/e the name is in the classifieds sells them, I do not think they are "OEM" because of what you stated but there is a source for replacements, I need to get a pair for my drivers front, the whole arm is not moving from the bushings being so shot....lol

 

i think with new bushings and new balljoint and new arm... its worht just getting it OEM.

 

Well I have the complete OEM replacement arms off eBay, the $70/pair ones, which came with everything, but the bushings are already squeaking, despite me preloading the bushings and spraying silicone lube on them.

I was actually thinking about swapping the original bushings off my old A-arms onto these, as I don't remember those ever making noise like these do.

 

remind me, werent you the one who thought under torqueing the upper control arm bushings (completely loose) was a good idea? isnt that why they squeeked?

anyway. try poly bushings. its single axis movement.

 

what about when you already have a new arm and balljoint but only need the bushings, which is my problem........

do you think the replacement bushings that a sponsor on this site sells are worth a try?

 

If you don't mind using a bushing with a higher durometer, Hard Race sells just the bracket with the bushings already pressed in for $55.

 

umm leaving bolts loose? I don't think so. Poly bushings, nevAr!!!!

That's exactly what I need... I would get the whole kit if I could find it, and had the money to spend when I did find it.

 

http://www.buyhardrace.com or I think I've seen them on ebay as well. The pricing is the same. I went through the same thing because I didn't want to spend the money on more Mugen bushings. We're more fortunate now that other companies have started offering similar products compared to 5 years ago.

 

That site doesn't appear to have the A-arm bushings available, even though it shows a picture of them.

 

I would just buy them with the bracket. It's $55 for the pair. The installation probably sucks more than it costs to get them already installed. But, if you're really set on doing it yourself, then I have a full set that I can part out just the front UCA bushings to you.

 

sorry patrick, but this VB search is much better... i do believe my memory was right.

That site does sell the bushings but they come with the arm as seen here:

Worth the 55 dollars. Located in the bushings section

The only other way to get Hardrace Bushings in ur A Arms is with these:

But they are pricey

 

Nah I said I slightly loosened the bolts, because I thought I had them too tight and the bushings were binding up. I didn't say I left them flat-out all loosey-goosey or anything.

 

oh whoops, didn't scroll down that page far enough.
