Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? The mounting pin for the rear trailer arm is bent...



This is what it should look like:

 

I believe, Mugen, Prothane, maybe ES make replacement bushings for them. I understand they are a PIA to do, have to burn out the old bushing and replace all the stuff in there. It is doable though.

 

Those pin can be taken off of EG Civics and fit right? If so, I might buy some ES poly bushings and mod them so that they dont bind up the suspension.

 

Here's a must read for those considering replacing these bushings with poly: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=493789

 

DO NOT INSERT THOSE. THEY ARE GARBAGE!!!


i installed them in my civic, and at first, they were good, and handled well.... but they are way too stiff for what it is meant to be. It resulted in the rears being stupidly bouncy and stiffer than it needed to be. It is also poorly designed and you will find that the pin will shift every now and then. (it isnt that big of a deal though). I suggest replacing it with stock OEM bushings. Thats what I did, and can't be happier. Honda offers them now, roughly $30-40 each. I wished i still have the part number for you, but I dont.

 

I have actually read everything about the poly bushings. What I was thinking actualy, was modding them by drilling evenly spaced holes around the bushing. This would make it flex instead of bind the suspension.

If honda sells just the bushing and pin, would anyone happen to have a part number?

 

In case anyone needs to know, the part number for the trailing arm bushing is 52385SR3000. I think you have to get it from a Honda dealership because Acura wont sell it without the trailing arm. I could be wrong though.

From where I can buy those pins? Thnkyou
