    Question Rear trailing arm bushing diameter

    Does anybody have a trailing arm bushing lying around? I need to know the outside diameter of one of these bushings.

    No other honda bushing matches up. I've tried, it's an oddball. But I can get measurements in a day or two if you would like.

    I'm going to try and make a housing bored out for an M12 spherical bearing.

    If you can get measurements with a set of calipers that would be awesome.

    Re: Rear trailing arm bushing diameter

    are your current bushings ripped? I know this is a known problem with EFs,EGs,DAs,DCs and EKs.

    I have never seen any ripping on any of my trailing arms...so I am just curious

    The bushings are fine I replaced them about 4 years ago. I want to get rid of the fore/aft deflection. Going to do the same thing with the radius rod bushings. Typing on phone suck.

    Re: Rear trailing arm bushing diameter

    I would go solid in the rear either plastic or aluminium. I am having very good luck with the blue nylon plastic in alot of my bushings. The 4 small bushings at the end of the link I dont understand what there there for???

    The radius rod bushings the replacements are very hard good improvement over the old stocks. I got a write up on here.

    If you go solid up there I would replaced the front support totally with homemade or aftermarket and go heim joints both ends. I dont think a solid bushing up there would work without some kinda bind but you can try it and prove me worng.

    Re: Rear trailing arm bushing diameter

    The trailing arm bushings I don't want solid because they have to be able to swivel a tiny bit. The way the rear suspension is set up, it toes in the more it moves away from static height. If I use a spherical bearing, I can get rid of the deflection but still allow the suspension to keep its natural range of motion.

    On the radius rods, the moog bushings are what I have now. Solid definately would not work there. I want to use a spherical bearing setup.
