i got my es master bushing for 88 crx hf.. after opening it.. i find out that i cant use half of it.. what the hell... anyways do you guys know where i can get the whole rear upper and lower rear bushing kit for my 88 crx.. i cant change my lower controll arm cause i already have illuminas on them..

 

You didn't specify that you had an 88 crx when you ordered the parts?

 

well. i cant remember which part they were. but its only for 89 and up.. i think its for the rear lower controll arm and something else.
i ordered it from summit.. and it said. its for 88-91 es master kit

 

Well summit listed it wrong because the rear suspension on the 88 crx is different than the 89-91 rear suspension

 

yup.. i also checked energy suspension website. and they dont have anything for the 88 crx rear suspension bushing.

 

I've done this kit on my 88 si and you don't need bushings for the rear lower arms. There's no point. The shock comes with a bushing in it that is just fine and unless your rear lower arm already has no bushings in it, you will be just fine without replacing them.

Infact I wouldn't replace those bushings with poly-bushings just because the design of them, the amount of allowable "flex" in them, is incorporated with the functionality of the "passive rear steering".

I have those bushings leftover from my es install. I'll send them to you for $25 shipped.
I have the bushings minus the sleeves. They're for 88 lcas. http://suspension.com/ has the the rear uca, compensator arms, and trailing arm bushings. It's about $250 for those bushings. The bushings are 3321 and 3322 (4 of each).

 

just buy some rear lca's and shocks for a 89-91 civic/crx...
