Default Trailing Arm Question

Hey guys I need to get some new trailing arms for my crx. The car had ebay crap on it and the bushings are gone. Anways I don't want to spend any more money on this pos but I have to to get it out of my yard so I want to hit the junkyard. There are no crxs in the yard at the moment so would and ef sedan or ef hatch trailing arm be the same length?

i do believe 90-93 integra NON GSR, 88-91 civic hatch or crx are almost identical and a perfect swap.

look for a hatchy IMO or a teggy & do the rear disc swap wile youre at it.

Just to clear up any confusion, the "trailing arm" is the part that the hub is attached to. It sounds like you are talking about the Lower Control Arm. The only "Ebay crap" I've seen are LCAs, the trailing arms are usually OEM.

If you are indeed talking about the trailing arm, just replace the bushing. These are 20+ year old cars, the rubber is expected to need replacing. You'll have the same problem if you find a junkyard part.

Yeah the trailing arms are the top one. My lower control arms are stock but in really bad shape. The trailing arms are a very cheap set of and ebay camber kit. I went to the auto store and I can't use new bushings on this ebay trailing arm kit. Ones at the junk yard wore in pretty bad shape but expected. Going to order new ones.

Those are not "trailing arms" that is the upper arm, or camber link. The one in the front is the compensator arm or toe link. The trailing arm is the whole stamped piece that runs front to back, which is why it trails behind. The hub and brake are bolted directly to it.

Post up in the WTB section that you need an upper arm. That way people know what you are talking about and you will get what you need. Either that or just buy a new camber kit, not all of them on ebay are junk. Get a Hardrace, Wicked Tuning, or SPC and you'll be fine. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

yeah already ordered a new set. I bought the car with the crappy ebay camber kit and coilovers. Most dangerous car I ever drove. Hopefully with the stock suspension back in it can be drivable once again. Stupid cheap ebay parts.
