I kind of pooched the rear/lower bushings on my Tein NA's. It was my first suspension swap and I didn't realize you shouldn't torque the bottom bolt down without load on the strut. D'ooh.

Tein won't sell me replacements. They'll only deal with me if I send the struts in for 'overhaul' at $129/ea which adds up to a hell of a lot more than I paid for them. Anyone have any idea if OEM bushings will fit or if it even looks the same from this pic?

They're not poly anyway so I don't figure I'll be losing much going OEM or if I know they'll fit I may go with an ES set or something.

 

I think Energy Suspensions makes those bushings

Edit: Maybe it's Suspension Techniques

 

IF they're the same size as the OEM. Thats what I'm not sure of. If someone can confirm that then I'm golden.

 

A call to the local Acura dealership says bushings are $23.25/ea. Yowch. Bet if they were on a Civic they'd be $9.95.

Does anyone know if ES really does make these bushings in Poly? The application guide on their website doesn't list anything specivic to the Type-R. Just a couple of 'EXCEPT Type-R' listings.
