Bushing question(s)

[Jon]

Two questions for ya guys.

1. Trailing arm bushing, where can I get one? I'm doing the rear disc conversion and am replacing all of my bushings while I'm at it and am wanting to replace the trailing arm bushing because both the one on my Accord and the one I got from the donor car is shot. Of course I don't want to buy a new trailing arm just because the bushing is shot... I'm not made of money.

2. Rear lower strut mount bushing, does anyone make a poly bushing for it? If not I'll order the stock one along with a few other hardware items from Honda.

I have one, no trailing arm bushings or rear lower strut mount bushing included... that or I'm a complete idiot and didn't see them in the box.

I have researched this and have as much of a fully poly bushing suspension on my car as the market provides.

1) No company I know on the market sells a new trailing arm bushing. You have to buy the whole arm to get that bushing. Very expensive, but if you want it bad enough.

2) There is no poly bushing for this lower shock mount bushing either. I bought new OEM rubber for my setup. I later found out there is one aftermarket company that makes a harder durometer rubber bushing, do a search. I think G-man on here referenced me.

Dont quote me on this, but i have seen people remove the rubber from the bushing, and using MCmasters Poly urithane bushing insert. I dont know how well it will hold up, but thats what i heard of before. (its mainly used for motor mounts, so i dont know how it will vary to suspension bushings.)
