Default 98 civic: Rack bushing install.

98 dx, PS rack...

Do i need to remove the rack to install 4 smaller bushings? (part #10022)
I also have the large bushing, which I think I could just pop the bracket off, pull the old one off and put the new on. Is the correct? (part #10037)

I looked for a DIY but found noithing but pictures of them already installed.

A more important question, are these bushings even worth installing? I already have the bushings.
Thanks guys!

No problem. I had the luxury of doing it two or three weeks ago only to find out the rack was ****. Now I get to do it again.

That sucks!
I haven't pulled a rack out, but I dropped the subframe with it attached. That was bad enough.

Good luck. lol


I might throw the big on in. It seems simple enough.

In order for it to "slide" over you're still going to have to remove the two bolts on the driver's side in order to be able to get the passenger end far enough away from the subframe.

you don't need to completely remove the rack to remove/install those bushings. just unbolt it, push out the sleeves, remove the bushings with a screwdriver, install.

That is what I was hopping.

I guess I'll just go mess it with it and see what happens.

Keep in mind the collar that goes through the four small bushings needs to come out the front.
