Hello,
can anyone help me out with a part number or place to order the bushings for the bottom of the strut towers please and thanks??

Majestic Honda - The Internet's #1 Honda Automotive Parts Store

to name a couple.. just use their website and look up the parts, you can find the part numbers there. Not difficult to do. Good website layouts.

 

thanks man, but they dont have what i need........

i need the bushing that is right above the bolt on #20, as u can see,its not even a selectable option.....

 

oh that's the rear trailing arm bushing.. Lots of aftermarket options. I don't think Honda sells that separate from the trailing arm. Even though you can press it out and replace it. Hardrace should have one if you want rubber, and Energy Suspension should have one in polyurethane.

hardrace here's their part number
HARDRACE GLOBAL - REAR TRAILING ARM BUSHING?6115

Energy suspension if you want polyurethane.. Hardrace is rubber.. some like it since it's less vibration..
energysuspension.com | parts search

looking at both I'd probably go with Hardrace if it was me.. The energy suspension doesn't have the mounting part of the bushing.. meh, I never like more work.

 

that hardrace bushing has things coming out of it where the struts need to go, but the strut needs to bolt there.....

 

The TA bushing does not interfere at all with the shock. It's no where near it.

 

No, the two little silver wings that r sticking out r where the bolt needs to go......

 

yes two bolts hold the trailing arm bushing onto the chassis of the car. that metal sleeve is what they bolt to on either side of the bushing.

the strut/shock does not bolt to the trailing arm bushing.. it bolts to the lateral lower arm.. #4 in your picture.

and yes the hardrace brand bushing does have the metal sleeve already in the bushing (trailing arm) where the energy suspension doesn't. That's why I like the hardrace ones, less work!

 

so where does the lower strut tower bolt go???

 

it bolts to the lateral lower arm.. #4 in your picture.

 

So, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? You seem to be very confused about your suspension parts.
I suggest you take a photo of what you are working on and post it. Another suggestion, go to youtube and type in "honda civic trailing arm bushing replacement" and watch couple vids. To have a good grasp on what to expect.

 

This is it.........this bushing.......

 

oh wow.. that's definitely not what I was describing earlier, that's the rear lower control arm bushing you're showing.
And it's completely missing from your arm. Here's the rear lower control arm bushing from Honda..
52622-SH3-013 / Bush, Rear Shock Absorber (Lower) (Hokushin)

It's about $16 online, or just call up your local dealer and see what they want for it. List price is about $20 each.
I'd recommend the Honda one just because it's cheaper than hardrace, and you probably could get it next day at your local dealer.
How did that ever come off there?

 

Thats not what you call a strut tower bushing, you should address the rust.

 

thanks, i ordered a pair.......now, do they need to be pressed in? or can it be done with a clamp...../? thanks u guys.....

 

You need to get it press in. Either by your mechanic or if you chose to do it yourself, you need to rent the ball joint press kit from advance auto or O'Reilly. Clamp and what not will not be strong enough and will deform the bushing. It will not last long if the bushing get deformed.

 

Looking at your picture, the bushing is gone but the outter sleeve that house the rubber bushing is still there. U need to remove that sleeve prior to installing new bushing. Saw the sleeve off or hammer it out with flat screwdriver.

 

i dont know, but all over the rubber is gone, and i dont see te little metal sleeve anywhere now, its bare......

 

I still see it from the photo. There is a lip on it. If the sleeve is gone then the hole will be smooth throughout. No rough. Perfectly smooth and round.

Same procedure for your rear lower control arm bushing.

 

do i need to beat it or what? its all smooth when i rub it w my finger

 

If you are certain its smooth on both side then you are ok to press in the new bushing. It will be a tight fit.

 

that's the LCA bushing. (shock mount)

go to autozone, or whatever, and tell them what bushing you need.

it IS press in, you WILL need to cut/hammer the outer ring of the bushing out.

 

do all of those bushings have that metal ring??

 

Yes. Oe type/spec does. Look at this picture.

do you see the silver "ring/sleeve" on the outside? That need to be gone from the control arm before pressing in the new bushing.
