Default Civic rear lower arm bushings ebay

Okai ill start by saying I no I shouldn't buy from ebay this was my 1st and last time. I got a pair of rear lower control arms and camber kit from ebay. I'm using them with my emusa coil overs.
It's been a year now and the rear lower arm bushings along with upper arm are shot.

I'm curious if anyone has tried just replacing the bushings. If so what bushings were used and were can I get them.


I don't want to replace them becuase these arms are tapped so I can add a rear swaybar

If this was cheap Blox I could say. No-name knockoffs? Post a pic. since they could be knockoffs of anything.

order some poly or hard rubber bushings. You can probably pick those up on ebay aswell.

There just knock offs. The bushings do not look like Oem style ones tho
It's a rubber bushing with just a metal sleeve in the center. Oem bushing have a outer
Shell these don't have that.

Probably Skunk2 knockoffs. Replacement bushings for those are chap so you can try those. In any case make sure they are lubed adequately.

just measure the bushing and buy some new ones to the same diameter.

buying skunk bushings and praying they are the same seems silly..

and where do you buy bushings? idk. and i'm to lazy to google the answer.

Best source for what? You have no name Ebay knockoffs. There IS no source for replacement bushings. The BEST you can hope to do is find replacement bushings for REAL branded LCAs and hope you can find a match.
