Quick question on the rear lower control arm bushings where the bottom of the struts connect to. Does anyone sell these bushings separate from the LCA that can be pressed in? I went down to honda and they said I had to get the full LCA, but I don't have that much money. Anyone?

 

either call up a salvage yard or you will probably have to get a bushing kit (~$125). There are also lcas made by srr that go for about $199.

 

Where can I get the bushing kit? I the bushings on each side replaced and the LCA's are $130 each, so $125 would be great.

 

honda sold me a single lca bushing like 2 years ago for 20$+/-.

just get the energy suspension bushing kit for rear lca, it contains all 6 sets and will be much cheaper.

 

i might have 1 side of the energy suspension if you are interested im me they are slightly used and are just sitting here.

 

When I was working at a customizing shop we used to order the bushings individually all the time. We lowered so many Hondas/Acuras we told the dealer to stock them and the bolts. They couldn't keep em in stock. As stated above you can also buy the Energy Suspension kit and press out all your old ones and install the Energy Kit. They retail at about $35 for the rear control arms.

 

"Thanks a lot guys, you just saved me $200.00, Thank you honda-tech."

Seriously though, thanks guys.

 

what kind of shops can do bushing installs? is installing the energy suspension ones even feasible without a press, and is it a good idea to just do the rears(teg LCAs with new rear swaybar on my eg).

 

Yes ES makes that bushing i think it was $20-30 for a pair.

 

Prothane makes them too, there is a guy selling them in the classifieds forum.

those bushings can be a pain.

 

If you don't have a press torch or cut the old bushing out, take a hack saw blade and cut a slit all the through the metal bushing ring. This will allow you to tap the ring out with a hammer and screwdriver. Then all you have to do is push the new ES bushings in.
