        How did you know your trailing arm bush is broken ? Did your car make chassis twisting noise when you drive over steep driveways ? Coz mine does that.

        I simply don't have your equipments and even if I buy them I have nowhere to put / store them.

            i knew it was broken becuase the guy at pedders doing my $14 safety check told me so... almost 2yrs ago... so it has taken this long to actually fix it... (yes - i have been circuit racing on broken bushes!!!)

            jase - still waiting on a wheel alignment before i can tell how it feels...

            in my mind it feels better, but that is more due to me swapping on stiffer springs at the same time...

              This is also suppose to stop the squirm in the rear under breaks

                  what type of aftermarket bush is that ?
                  Im looking at doing this , but using OEM bushes - quite abit easier as you just push the old one out and push the new one in

                    This guide is pictorial demonstrating how to install Energy Suspension Rear Trailing Arm bushes on a DC2 Integra.
                    where do you get the OEM rubbers from>? AFAIK - you have to buy the RT whole arm...

                    Prothane make replacements push-in ones,

                    but the ES ones cost me $13.25ea so i guess the 8 hours it took to do both sides was reflected in this saving...

                            my RTA bush was busted, so if the difference is not noticable, it will be a shock...
