Hardrace LCA - jhpusa.com/pro...
A DIY guide on how to remove your old trailing arm bushings and replace with the Energy Suspension trailing arm bushings for any 88-91 Civic or CRX (except RT4WD wagon). This process will be very similar for all 88-00 Civic and Integra Models.
I also installed some Hardrace rear LCA's at the same time.

on the rear trailing arm bushings, i used the prothane bushings on my DA, they come with the metal collars. All i did was knock out the old ones and knock in the new ones when i removed the trailing arm. was way easy
@GarageBuiltHondas 7 жыл бұрын
Agreed, the main difference is cost. If I remember those are $100ish usually? The ES set is only $35, so for a little more work of burning out the bushing you'll have a little extra cheddar in your pocket! lol

Tried to eject the cups without pounding them. Didn’t work. Your methods are perfect. My Bernzomatic was dry so I put the rubber covered parts in a steel put, poured a little gasoline in then let them burn for about five minutes. I could hear cracking and when I tried the cups, the rubber came right out. One center section was field dressed like a dear with continued slicing with a razor blade knife. The other one - that I did my way - had its non burned rubber ground off with a wire wheel. Now I’ve got to clean that rubber out of my shop.

It seems that the carb cleaner creates some kind of chemical reaction that dissolves the rubber. He did mention that it smells mightily of carb cleaner. Doesn't require a torch. A good alternative for those of us that don't have a kingly tool set.

@RS7John 5 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't bother with poly bushes in back as you end up with 2 problems. 1. The poly bushes can't flex so don't allow the arm to pivot as the car rotates. The original units are called "compensation" bushes so they are designed to allow the arm to move. 2. Due to the stiffness of the bush it is almost impossible to adjust rear toe using the toe link
@hydrocarbon8272 5 жыл бұрын
@@RS7John The poly bushings can lead to snap oversteer, which is VERY unfriendly for even experienced drivers. Hardrace actually makes a bushing for the trailing arms that are very stiff vs OEM and even the coveted Mugen rubber. If you're not installing a rear sway, the LCA's are a big waste of money vs Hardrace bushings in OEM LCA's. You'll save more weight cutting the spare tire well out and replacing with a sheet aluminum vs switching from iron to alum LCA's.

Got everything loose on passenger - the learning side - and preparing to hit 14s and 17s with air wrench. I’m wondering if squirting PB Blaster or WD-40 on the metal cups that have to be pounded out would ease the pain?

There is more than one line. You also have a return line. There are also a couple underneath the car for the fill neck and the purge/fumes. Might want to take a look at all those. What year is your car?

@GarageBuiltHondas 6 жыл бұрын
+LockTest Not a huge difference, but lighter in weight and the bushings are hardened rubber much stronger than OEM replacement bushings. The look factor is nice also!
@JEMHull-gf9el 6 жыл бұрын
Thanks for getting back to me. When I searched for these a bunch of different versions pop up. They all seem similar but have variations in the interstitial structuring. Is there one you recommend over the other?
@GarageBuiltHondas 6 жыл бұрын
+LockTest I believe this one is one of the best for a daily driver. There are some that are a lot more expensive with different bushings for more extensive use but these rubber bushings keep the car feeling similar to stock. It's less harsh than the urethane counterpart.

Since I am an old geezer more interested in MPG than MPH in my Civic, I wonder what that new control arm does other than look way cooler. Now on my 944 and 914s it is the other way around.
@GarageBuiltHondas 6 жыл бұрын
+jockellis Direct stock replacements, easier to install than swapping out bushings on old LCA's, 2.5 lbs lighter than the cast iron arms, hardened rubber which is stronger than OEM rubber, and most importantly, they "look way cooler".

Use your jack to push the suspension up where it lifts off the jack stand and then torque it. That's where the suspension sits so you'll be good.

How have the Hardrace lower control arms held up thus far? As far as ride quality and durability which coilovers do you prefer? F&F Type1 or Skunk2 Pro S?

Perfect, Hardrace bushings are one of the best. I prefer FnF for daily. They seem softer on my wagon. I like the Skunk2 better for a sporty and more performance inspired feel.

From what I've researched Koni also has a lifetime warranty. I'm not sure though if they would honor the warranty if the vehicle is lowered and being used for motorsports on the track.
