The tail was loose so i changed the rear trail arm bushings..one was completly broke..

 

[yardy@37]

That looks had it. What bush did you replace it with? oem or aftermarket? & was it difficult to do?

 

[Saifskyline]

replace them with Energy poly bushes they are great i have them on my eg

 

[driftervin]

I did my homework and everybody was saying oem so i got them off honda..they were easy enough to do..if i did them again id fly tru it.

[troopa9]

Did you do them on the car or take trailing arms off? Also how much were they from Honda dude?

 

[yardy@37]

How much were these from Honda?

 

[driftervin]

€30 each.

Loosen front floating arm, remove camber arm through bolt(one closest to disc), remove ower control arm through bolt from shock, support the arm on a jack or block(jack is handier) remove trailing arm bushing bolts, drop arm as far as brake pipe will allow, beat out old bushing from the inside of the arm(the bushing is tapered so will only go one way). Tap in new bushing from outside of arm, make sure to offer it up as best you can as your tapping it in to make sure the bolt holes are aligned where bushing is bolted to the car. Replace and tighten all bolts removed. To make things easier soak all the bolts in WD40 before you go at it. Also be careful when your beating out the old bushing that you dont damage the exhaust(driver side arm) and that the arm is supported at all times so that there is little or no weight on the brake pipe(both sides) the car.

If your car is lowered you can rotate them , so that they arent stressed at the lower ride height Will save them from wearing out twice as fast

Dont get you..they bolt to the body only one way they can go in.

Yeah but its how the bush sits in the arm . The lower the ride height the closer the trailing arm sits to the body so the bush will be already under stress while its just sitting normal depending on how low the car is..

[driftervin]
