Hey all... I have been working on a 1989 CRX Si, for what seems like forever. I took the rear trailing arms in to a shop to have them dissasembled since a few screw heads were stripped out, and to have the old bushings pressed or burned out. Well, I was in no ruch, and when I got back to the shop to pick them up, they had been tossed in the scrap. The owner told me he would replace the parts for me, but I don't know when that is gonna be. I have a 1988 hatch outback for parts. Will the arms fit? If yes I might be able to get back to the build. Also... I was thinking of having parts powder coated, (suspension parts) but don't know if its worth the money and time. Should I just clean em up and put in new bushings in? the car is going to be really stripped down, and only driven on decent days. No rain.

 

hmm, did he damage them tryning to tkake out the bushing? i did mine in my backyard with some heat and a homemade press

 

no damage, just scrapped em by mistake. I could cave done it, but there were a few stripped out screws, so I just had him do it.

 

really... nothing? come on some one please

 

The hatch should work, I'm using arms off an 90 Integra DA. As far as powder coating goes just use a black enamel spray can.

 

learn to ask a question.

i just see a block of rambling text. might as well tell us what you had for breakfast in that.

 

thanks, I will try it.

 

I guess it was a bit of rambling, but I did ask the question... will the arms from a 88' hatch fit the 90 CRX? thanks.

 

Yeah, thanks I guess it is a bit of extra money to powder coat em, I will just rattle can them, thanks.
