There was a good thread in the RR/AC a forum. I beleive Mugen is the only company that makes a replacement. You have to buy the whole trailing arm from Honda.

Darn it, I forgot to buy some!
Anyway, the rear trailing arm bushing is really not a cause for concern as far as maintenance items go.
Those who replace them are usually replacing them for the sake of upgrading them.

The ones on my 91 integra were really falling apart, torn and cracked.</TD></TR></TABLE>
The fact that the climate here does not change all that much throughout the year might have something to do with that.
Interesting though. Personally, I've never seen one damaged on all of the Hondas I've been underneath.
Even the bushings on my 180,000 mile '90 Integra RS were fine.

My RS had about that mileage, they looked like absolute ***. I suspect they were part of the cause as to why my car was so unstable under heavy braking.
I wouldnt lose any sleep over it - but its something to inspect once a year or so.

Re: itr trailing arm bushing durability? (.RJ)
my 88 CRX ones are all shot, I mean all of them, well the rear ones are shot the front ones are gettign there but extremely close. I am slowly replacing them. The bushings will go, just need alot of time and abuse, so as mentioned before depends on the car and weather.
Any good replacements, I just got a set of Mugen shock mount bushing and they don't seem better than the stock ones. I hate to buy the rest cause they are $$$$$$$$ and find out they not much better. I am slowly converting the car for track only.
