Default integra rear trailing arm bearings and bushings

i just bought rear integra trailing arms to do the 4 wheel disk converson on my 94 civic. I don`t know what year integra these arms are off of but i need to get some rear bearings for them. I was going to buy the hubs with the bearings in them just don`t know if they are all the same from 94-01?
also what are some good bushings to get for the the rear trailing arms not sure the exact name of them but the big ones the bolts the arm to the car i wanted to get some kind of polly bushing `

94-01 is all the same. You could rubber, or poly.
oem, pic, mugen or engergy suspension.

Im not sure if da trailings will work but if you have them you need 90-93 ta bushings

Those are almost half of what they are from Acura so they might be worth a shot.

As 98civdx said you can use hard rubber or poly but a lot of people these days sway towards hard rubber. That's especially true if you want long life and maintenance free bushings.

You can use your drum hub/bearing. It's the same.

I just did this over the past weekend.

No real experience with poly for trail arm. But everywhere i read, everyone mention it doesn't provide correct geometry movement and it binds.

Go with OEM, Mugen or Hardrace.

Poly can last, but it can also fail very quickly.

My freind has energy suspension ta bushings for 2 years and its doing fine. Just keep it clean and lubed. However there are some as kaiba said that say it bindes but I dont really buy it sence i have never heard or see any proof. More or less guys that read something and think they know all about it.

Im going to get the full pic bushing kit soon, but you can also just buy there ta bushings alone. With that said, oem is a lot cheeper, if your just looking to replace it.

Don't do poly for RTA bushings. They tend to bind, and dry rot MUCH sooner than rubber. I had some ES shifter bushings that dry rotted and crumbled after only 4-5 years, and they see almost no movement compared to what an RTA bushing sees. My original RTA bushings, on the other hand, were pretty dry rotted and about to tear when I removed them, but they lasted SIXTEEN years!

Only rubber or solid spherical RTA bushings allow the RTA to move through its full intended range of motion without binding, but solid spherical isn't really suited for street duty. They will wear out the fastest, and are really only for track use.
