Default Trailing arm bushing DX and Si different size?

Did a rear disc conversion the other day on my 1990 Civic DX Hatch with drums using 90 CRX Si rear Discs. I wanted to use the bushings from my old trailing arms but oddly enough they are smaller then the ones that are in the CRX arms. I thought they are all the same? The arms are supposed to be from a JDM CRX si "Sir?" if that matters at all. I was thinking maybe they are actually DA Teg arms, but all the parts I ordered "rotors etc" fit fine, didnt the DA have a larger rotor? Help the confusion! thanks

The DA is a bit bigger. The normal bushing can fit inside the DA bushing casing, you just need to cut it all out and press it in.

Check the FAQ for wes vanns page and his write up.
