K im doing this since i have some rear inner control arm bushings shot (ones to set toe). I been searching for the last couple hrs. i found mostly all the part numbers except the inner bushings on the rear lower arms.


This is what i got.

Energy suspension Red.

Front.

8-1201 Front strut rod bushings.
8-907 Front lower shock bushings.
8-210 Front lower control arm bushings.
9-5126 Front sway bar bushing set.


Rear.

8-904 Rear shock bushing kit. (Kit comes with 4 strut rod bushing for top hats for fronts hat fits so nothing is wasted)
8-312 Lower control arm kit. (You have to take the bushings out of the sleeves an insert them to the stock sleeves. In order to do that you need to remove the center an deburr the lip an install)

Gots to love tax season. LOL. time to get er done.

theses are kits from Angus posted up. seen these bushings on his car (beautiful belly) its time to give some care to my old gurl.

had to jump around all over to find these parts. So hope this can become a sticky. :dunno:

Update finally done with the bushing install. Was a pain but worth the reward.

Make sure to lube them correctly to avoid squeaking suspension. I remember when i did the fronts LCA holy shit was it a bitch without a press to get those fuckers out. Method i used was drill to cut a most of rubber and a handsaw to cut the metal ring out. i suggest you heat them up so it will make the job easier.

will i was comparing the rear lca bushings with with a new bushing from honda . its a no go the sleeve on the Rear Lca kit is to big..............


BUT...........

if you take apart the bushing (prothane kit 8-312) the bushing it self fits the stock sleeve after knocking out the rubber and metal tube. You will have to untapper the stock lca bushing sleeve to get the Prothan insert to fit. Bing bam done. ill have to post pics. but just wanted to throw that out there. ive compared should fit no problem. (i have a new stock rear lca bushing)

Hey, are you doing pics? I think I'm going to do this soon-ish, and I can take pics if you haven't been. I've got to freshen up my suspension, so I'm going to go with poly while I'm at it. Maybe we'll get a good how-to out of it.
