1994 civic ex coupe
2 1/2 catback custom

Noticed today that my exhaust has a little more play then I like,(wobbles) and that my exhaust hanger bushings are pretty old and still the original bushings. So, why not replace them.

What brand should I replace them with? I believe I have a total of 4 and are they all the same size?

I heard the hard rubber Cusco bushings are really good, or should I stick with OEM or any other brand recommended?

This site is just a reference and can probably get them cheaper.

 

that's pretty cheap....part stores probs have them for less tho.

 

OEM or find them at a junkyard or parts store. I usually go junkyard hopping at pull a part, enter for 2 dollars collect all the 10mm bolts I can hold and junk no one thinks of like harness plugs that still look good with no corossion, stuff like that.

 

OEM, or Walker are the ones I've used. Both worked well.

 

Ok, I'm leaning towards oem since they've lasted this long already. The only thing that I question is the weight of the exhaust vs stock exhaust piping causing premature wear and more slack compared to the hard rubber.

I have 4 that I can remember, 2 holding by shifter, and 2 where the muffler is at. Are they all the same size from factory? I'm getting mixed answers on that.

Thanks guys.

 

my 20 year old ones are holding a 3'' K-teller and they haven't ripped yet the weight difference isn't worth noting. the rears are a bit smaller but not that it'll make a difference.

 

^^ That's the reason I want to stick with oem. The only reason I'm considering Cusco is because of how sturdy they are compared to soft rubber. I just don't want the exhaust to wobble or move. I might just buy both and compare since they're not that much.

 

The walker ones I bought at rockauto.com were pretty sturdy/good quality for the price. Might be something to consider if you want to save a few.

 

^^ Thanks, good to know and actually might consider because of how cheap it is.
