Default squeeking noise? bushing question

I have a 2000 Integra gsr and both back tires when i jack the car up the tires move kinda freely when i pull them from 12 and 6 if you know what i mean. i looked at it and the "bushing" which is attatched directly to the car from the upper control arm is pretty much shoti looked up rear upper control arm bushings on summitracing.com cause they were recommended but can only find lower control arm bushings for the rear or the whole kit. is what i need sounding like a bushing? if not whats the part and where would you recommend to buy them? thanks! The squeeking is so annoying!!!

Are you only looking at aftermarket parts? I'm sure you can get OEM replacements from the dealer.

Also have a look at the (large) trailing arm bushing. It bolts to the frame about a foot forward of the hub. It's the other easy-to-see bushing. If it looks cracked and dry it also needs to be replaced and all the bushings do as well. I kinda doubt that only the inner upper control arm bushing is what needs to be replaced.

You've got a lot of options when it comes to replacing the bushings, but most only come in kits (usually LCA kits or full front/rear kits). You could try hitting up PIC for a custom-ordered set of bushings. Not sure if they'd do that for you but it's maybe worth a try.

If you go OEM, for the rear suspension only the trailing arm and LCA bushings are sold separately. If you need to replace the UCA bushings, you'll have to buy a new UCA from the dealer. Fortunately it's not terribly expensive and it's easy to install.

If you decide you need to get new LCA bushings as well, have a way of installing them, and want to save some $$, I can sell you brand new OEM LCA bushings I pressed out of new OE LCAs I ordered.
