Replaced my trailing arm bushings with ES ones.

However I don't recall which way they go in.

I know they are offset one way or the other Anyone know?

Also I just tapped the old ones out with a hammer, figured once I got the ES ones pressed into the metal sleeve I could tap them in the same way...

No luck as of now, anyone know which way they go / which way they are offset?

 

There is an arrow on the bushing. Arrow goes down. Long side of the bushing goes inward.

 

no arrow

 

Fits:
1994-2001 Acura Integra
1988-2000 Honda Civic
1988-1991 Honda CRX
1993-1997 Honda Del Sol

Yep I have those.

Problem is the metal ring from the OEM bushing came out.

I need to get that in, and find the correct of set of the metal pin in the center of the bushing.

 

Solution: remove and throw out the ES ones and buy OEM or OEM equivalent TA bushings. The ES bushings are ONLY for drag racing. They allow NO deflection of the rear trailing arms which is a quality coveted by many Civic owners.

Best of luck.

 

Sorry! I was referring to OEM bushings.

 

Do you have a picture? I had some poly bushings for a few months because I couldn't get a hold of the OEM ones, they popped out three times.
