Are aftermarket RTA bushings bad to get? I was reading through suggestions and someone said using polyurethane bushings as replacement for this is bad, that you should try and get oem. Honda quoted me at almost 80$ a bushing... And I need 2 for my wagon and 2 for my sedan... So I can't spend 320$ on 4 bushings... I was looking at eBay http://m.ebay.com/itm/130574043991?nav=SEARCH^ has anyone bought these? I know cheap isn't the way to go, but I just can't justify in paying hundreds for small rubber pieces.

 

I have Dorman units on mine. No complaints. They come with a mark already scribed on them at the exact depth they need to be pressed in

 

I also have bought the Dorman replacements off rockauto for about $25 each. I would not buy cheap chinese off ebay

Cant go wrong with oem honda pieces, even if they make you pay for it, they lasted 20 years... chinese rubber will have you fretting in less than a few

 

Yeah i got the Moog units from rockauto. I think i seen some selling for $60 for a pair of oem bushings.

 

Dorman ones are about 25 each. I won't use rock auto but I see some on jegs

 

OEM is $32 for a bushing.

52385-S21-003 - Genuine Honda RR Trailing Arm Bush

 

Currently the SR3-000 is the most updated one, but it's also the most expensive at $52 each.

You can get the CRV version SR3-003 ($28 ea) for even less than the old updated S21-003 ($32 ea). Nobody is sure the exact difference in the CRV bushing, but I do know they fit perfectly into my 89 CRX.

To install, I just used a 2lb brass hammer from harbor freight. Old ones knock out the front, new ones knock in the way the old ones came out. Just be sure to set the rotation & depth correctly.
