Default What RUBBER parts to replace in the strut/spring assembly

Basically Ive never had the suspension off of my 89 CRX Si so I dont really know what rubber pieces there are sandwhiched up under the body and in between the strut and coil and the "top hat" I think its called.

They list alot of pieces:
Strut mount bushing
Strut mount cap
Strut rod bushing
Shock absorer bushing
Shock absorber mounting kit

etc...

Can anyone let me know if any of the rubber pieces in there will probably need to be replaced? Maybe common failures or cheap upgrades.

Im making an order on rockauto.com hopefully tonight so any help will be appreciated, I dont wanna get caught running to 3 parts stores on install day

I really don't think there is any except the two bushings that fit into the top hat along with the metal sleeve, as seen in your link.

It's called SEARCH!!!

www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

This is the same as your other threads. If you don't know take the time to look at a schematic. Do some of your own detective work there Mr. Tracy.

The date joined has absolutely NOTHING to do with your ignorant statement. You can join a site and have no knowledge even 3 years later. One sitting behind the screen for 5 minutes with decades of experience while another sits behind the screen for a decade and never actually touches anything. That is the biggest problem with forums - to many people want to seem smart so they play mocking bird. Then since they aren't smart/experienced enough, they spread wrong information from somebody like themselves, since the other person "just knew" they were right. It's a vicious cycle.

Well when I go on forums I look at stuff I dont even have to just to expand my current knowledge and would assume others would do the same . other than the greedy peeps in here who just post a problem, get an answer, and then never come back
