Anybody have any info on Terada auto parts? Specifically their bushings? I'll be looking for new bushings soon and will be considering hardrace or a good oem replacement. A Honda tech search brings up only a bunch of threads about Bruce Lee's cousin? A quick Google search yields little info on Terada. Just that Honda is one of their clients and they're based in Japan.

I suspect they may have made oem parts for Honda. Can anyone confirm? Does anyone have any experience with their parts? Are they made in Japan as well?

 

This is only speculation but when I Google Terada Bushings I came across FCPImport.com and they had a Terada bushing for an 88 CRX.

Looks like a Honda part number so I would be willing to guess they did make OEM bushing for the 3rd and maybe 4th gen civics.

Also another note is FCPImport's has a mission statement of only providing the best quality genuine or OEM replacement parts.

They also offer a limited lifetime warranty on every part they sell including wear parts like brake pads etc. Limited to the original purchaser of the part as long as they own the vehicle, not transferable.

Anyways, with a goal like that and the warranty they provide, I'd say the Japanese Terada parts are pretty good quality.
