Default Replacing main damper bushing on rear trailing arm?

I'm doing rear brake conversion and notice that the big bushings or dampers on the trailing arms are torn. Can those be replaced? I'm checking the online part stores, and they don't even have a part number for those things.

Thanks for the help.

Those are called trailing arm bushings. Yes they can be purchased seperate from honda or any other online parts place.

Ditto alscrx's comments. See the following site for the part number and chatter about the tool to buy or borrow to replace them: http://honda.lioness.googlepages.com...ion#tabushings

Thanks for the links.

For future reference, the part number for the bushing is 52385-SR3-000. Got mine for $65 each from the local Honda dealer.

With the whole trailing arm outside the car, I was able to hammer the old one out and hammered the new one in with a seal or bearing tool. Just pay attention to the direction and location of the old ones before popping them out. Takes about 30mins to replace both bushings.

I'll see how different the car will behave.
