People, I have a rear suspension bush on its way out on my 96 ITR - its the main bush on the rear swing arm.

Does anyone know if i can replace just the bush? I have been told it will have to be the whole arm! - If I can replace the bush does anyone know where I can get one? or have a part number?

The exact bush I need is no.13 in this diagram. :-

 

there are aftermarket polyurethane replacements available. i am not sure if factory
replacements are available, however.

 

You have any links to sites for them?

The above picture is from one of those sites but unfortunately the bush I am after they do not have!!

 

http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net/...gry4=&catcgry5= this is a good site to find parts. i didnt see a R for 96, u might be able to use a bush from another model, is that possible?

 

energy suspension makes aftemarket parts for stuff like that

 

they usually do not sell major susp arm bushing separately.

 

Try king motorsports, Mugen sells that bushing seperately and you can pound the old one out and put in the new one. The one that mugen sells looks identical to factory and doesn't squeek or make noise like the poly one.

 

Is the Mugen hard rubber bushing really worth it, considering the price difference ($104 from King motorsports) vs. the Energy Suspension polyurethane bushing ($21 from suspension.com)?

Also, since poly bushings get a bad rap for squeaking, would adding zerk grease fittings (like in this article from Overboost.com (http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=426) eliminate the squeaks?

I ask because these trailing arm bushings are shot on my 97 GSR and I'm looking at my options for replacing them as well.

I believe Prothane sells this poly bushing bonded to a metal sleeve so that you don't have to reuse the old one for about the same price as the Mugen bushing, anyone use this?

Another question, anyone replace these bushings themselves without a lift? If so, did you remove the whole trailing arm?
