i have a 90 crx si, 240,000 miles, and am in need of new Rear Trailing Arm bushings, and i am looking for the rubber type, OEM replacement ones,

i don't want polyurethane cause rougher ride and squeak,

but after searching all around google, i was only able to find one place to get them at, at PartsTrain.com, they carried Mevotech bushings for $21.14 each, which were rubber OEM replacements, but not sure if they are good quality or not ?


anyone know of any other places or websites i can buy them at ? so i can have more of a selection to choose from ? so i can find the best ones ???

any help would be cool,

thanks

 

They are available from Honda. P/N 52385-S21-003 $30 each from most online dealers

 

oh, i thought i checked, cause usually i look first on majestic honda, and thought i did, but maybe i did'nt for some reason, i thought i had to get from aftermarket brand someone told me, but thats good to know, but do you know if they are just the round bushing part only ?, or is it the type where the round bushing is in that thing with a flat metal part on each side with a mounting hole ?,

i think i heard i supposed to get the type thats in the metal thing with mount hole on each side, cause it makes the installation easier, and since i was having a shop do the install, i think it might be cheaper if i bring them that part, otherwise if i bring just the bushing they might have to do more work, such as pressing the bushing out or something ???, (not sure exactly, just thought i heard something like that), anyway i will check dealers or majestic honda, thanks for letting me know cause i might of assumed they did'nt have them anymore and had to get from aftermarket brand thats OEM replacement.

 

would you know if the brand Mevotech is a good quality brand ?, cause the website PartsTrain.com had Mevotech Rear Trailing Arm bushings for CRX, which are Rubber OEM replacement - direct fit, and had each for $21.14, which is a good price, but just want to know if its equal to OEM ?? or a lot cheaper quality ??

 

For $9 more each, get the OEM Honda ones. Also, the reason you cant find them is that they arent on the parts diagram pages. They used to only sell them with the complete rear arm (for ~$300). Here is the service bulletin for them, hopefully it will answer some of your questions - http://www.hondalac.com/service/Bulletins/x00-006e.pdf

 

alright, thanks for the info, helps a lot, cause thats exactly what i was wanting, just oem honda, but would'nt of known the stuff you mentioned

 

IIRC you cannot press the bushing in and out and that you must burn/wire brush out the old rubber then press in the new one, but maybe this is only with the mugen/aftermarket ones. Mine were rotted pretty good and I was broke and in college so I just filled in the empty space with black RTV. 50k miles and still going strong, no squeeks and check them regularly and nothing has moved and theyre still as solid as the day I put them on. Spherical bushing going in soon though

 

With the OEM ones you just press out the old and press in the new. Make sure to mark the angle of the mount plate relative to the arm and make sure the new ones go in the same way. Clocking them wrong will accelerate the wear exponentially!
