- Here is an EASY WAY to replace a Honda Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Repair with No Special Tool.
TIP NOTE: After doing this, make sure to get an alignment. Also I like to add.... If you can, DO ALL of the bushings then go and get an FULL alignment.
This trailing arm bushing repair will apply to:
Honda Civics 1989-2000
Honda CRV CRX 1997-2001
Acura Integra 1990-2001
It is very common for the trailing arm bushings on older Honda Civics Civic CRX CRV and Acura Integras to degrade and break through time.
Honda wants to sell you the entire control arm, but you can buy a new set of aftermarket bushings. In this video you can fix up your rear suspension with no special tool.

Thanks for this great video. We had trouble getting the bushings started in the holes. Would hit one side and the other would come out. Our solution was using a strut spring compression tool to squeeze them in some, then pound them in the rest of the way. The tool kind of deforms the rim of the bushing, but as you pound it back in, it returns s somewhat to normal shape.
You are welcome!
That noise at 10:40 tho 😂 I like the removal method, but the re entry,maybe a large socket could've been used to bang the race in without damaging the new part
😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️
I have done a couple of these, even bought the Honda tool for this job, Never like that the tool presses this bushing out to the inside of the arm. There is a taper and pressing it out to the outside is a better choice. Never thought about cutting the old bushing like this. Worked a lot better than the Honda tool for the job. I did use the tool to press the new bushing into place.
Good suggestion.
I can't remember but I'm fairly sure the FSM says that pushing it out the wrong way will destroy the retaining ridge. Might be the front wheel bearing, but I'm almost certain it applied to the trailing arms. I saw people going the wrong way with the fronts, too... I just do what the FSM says.
Much easier than doing the poly inserts from Energy. I think im gonna do some Hard Race bushings thanks to your video. 👍🏾
You are welcome!
Worked on mine and it worked perfectly
Would you like some Honda with your rust :P. Free floor Pan AC lmao. Great video man, on my way out to do this right now.
Need more rust? 😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️
Your Video is great! Was super helpful doing mine! Thank you buddy! I accidentally broke a brake line and had to bend a new one before the system bled empty :( but other than that it wasnt TOO bad.
No need to buy the tool, that was the easiest part of the job with a frozen new bushing and then cutting a slot in the old one
You are welcome and I'm glad it helped you!
ATG, Honda, pros, you & I are correct, that one should hit from the inside out.
As the same time Jordan Bronson made two little slices, resulting less energy to smack it out from the inside rather than outside.
You main task & if you are lucky that those 4 bolts on the comenpsator arm are not seized & rusted.
Right, I found a better way to do it. Some people just can't see it or acknowledge it. Also, smacking will do more damage... So, I chose the quick and the easier way. The 4mm thick cut took LESS than 10 minutes with both slices. As you can see, I knocked it out with a large screwdriver and NOT with a hammer, because it didn't take much.
Love love that simple DIY problem-solving. Great work! Thank you!
You welcome and I hope it will make yours easier!
Bro you crazy buy it worked 😊 good job sir!
*I don't know what crazy is, but I see what crazy does! -Jordan Bronson*
yeah..that hidden nut on the bolt....he's right....@1:10 of the video....don't take that one off unless there is a drill ready to make a hole in the metal....to get to the hidden nut on the other side...yeah he's right again, just take off the bolt @3:05 of the video...I did that, it worked out just fine...I have seen so many other videos loosening the entire suspension, NOT NEEDED....unless you want to play around than have fun....
Glad it helped ya!
The trailing arm hole is tapered. One side's diameter is wider than the other. You want to only remove the bushing towards the exterior of the car. If that hole gets to big, bushing can end up changing it's position from simply the car going over bumps. Also when you hit the bushing with a hammer, you're at risk of bending the arm itself, and permanently messing up the ability to get the rear toe alignment in spec.
You have it backward !!! Look at it really close, YOU SHALL SEE !!!
NOTE: Once it's CUT, like in the video. It doesn't matter which end you take it out from. Please understand a little basic physic, before making comments.
Yeah you're knocking it from the wrong side... if you hammer it from the inside out you don't even have to put the cuts in it. This is 100% the wrong way according to the Honda manual
@@JodBronsonyou don’t need to cut it if you knock it out the right way. You are 100 percent hitting it on the wrong side. You can argue to your hearts content but I have a Honda book right in front of me that says your wrong.
@@r.l.strange1897 - *Sure, you can knock it all day, but took me 5 minutes to get it out. by the way GO TO SCHOOL !!! Nice English "your wrong" !!!
Yeah man nice job n yeah bbq paint lasts n is cheap. This vid really helped me out.
Surprisingly, it's still working aok and the paint still doing good!
Good job bro :D way better than slamming it with a hammer for 45min :D
Hahahahahaha, right! Thanks!
Now you know how to do it :D
Great and amazing
Thanks mate for this!
You are welcome!
Good video
Thanks for the info 🔥🔥
You are welcome and good luck!
Fill them with 3m window weld and never have to replace again
Thanks 👌
Welcome 😊
I have always just simply tapped the bushing From the Inside with a hammer in a extension. It just pops right out after three taps

nice video , thumbs up
:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Would failure of rear bushings affect the rear tire alignment?
YES and also can warp your rims and wear down your tires unevenly too.
@@JodBronson ..my left rear wheel is always slightly out of specs and the alignment shop pointed out to me my bushings are worn and cracking
@@ancientdiscoverys - Yup, that will do it!
@@JodBronson ..had the rear bushings replaced today. The steering wheel vibrates now and the tires seem real heavy. Mechanic told me to get balancing and alignment tomorrow ASAP
It’s a pity you didn’t set up the tripod for cutting out the rubber and metal outer ring, did you use a reciprocating saw?
*NOPE.... I didn't use no saw at all... I used my teeth! Now go try with your teeth!* LMFAO
@@JodBronson ur fucking hilarious ur wasting ur time butchering cars you should try comedy actually just take ur car shtick on the stage for the real big laughs.
A press is real tight
*OK, what part of "NO TOOL" in the title or in the video do you not understand?*
Looking at the bottom of that car I would scrap it. But good video I would defo do it this way.
Sure! You gonna buy me a new one?
U really dont know what rust is huh, doesn't look that bad to me
Kid Quick rust is the oxidation of metal when exposed to moisture and air. Any idiot knows that.
@@kidquick2941 scrap it
@@applepoop10 scrap it
Does freezing them make a big difference?
YES!
@@JodBronson I just did one side without freezing the next side I will freeze for sure. Thanks
@@1mach28914u1 - I did it for 48+ hours. Anytime you can freeze something, do it. Metal shrink in cold and expand in the heat. 😂😂😂😂
@@1mach28914u1 - It also helps wacking it in too. Because metal shrink, it lessens the damages. LOL
What do you mean by freezing?
You freeze your New Part. This will "Shrink" the metal. Metal shrink in "Cold" Radiation, that way you can install it in the "Hole" easily.
Jordan Bronson yeah I googled it lol thanks tho
Rusted from snow and salt?
All of the above!
holy shit, thats alot of rust. i wouldnt use hammer method on this one for sure D:
LOL
Holy Shit..... You SAW everything else except LEARNING a new trick? I wouldn't look into the mirror if I were you, you may see something stupid! 😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️
Oh yeah well your name is stupid rusty boy
@@forestnfren8146 - At least I don't have a " Rusty Head " !!! 😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️
sprays no need it xD (y)
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I see you didn’t Measure the 11 or 12 mm it’s supposed to be
You are too blind to hear it !!!
So When you got a rear end alignment did it stay
@@mikethestonemanbarber6917 - Still on today !!!
Damn that car is infected with rust
Hahahahaha, what do you expect a Car that is from 1990? 30 Years.... But it's still going !!! LOL
Jordan Bronson my crv is from 1999 and it doesn’t have any rust.
@@applepoop10 - Wow really? Did you keep it inside? Where do you live?
I could almost guarantee that bushing ripped within the first 6 months. You need to press that bushing in correctly line or else you'll get tension on the bushing, rip it and being the same predicament that you were from the beginning. Should have just did energy suspension bushings
It's still on today as we speak. Don't try to "predict" please... It's for people with biipoooolllaas.... Stick with something called "Basic Science" !!!
Jokes on you homeboy oh, I have a 97 Civic I just got done doing it energy suspension bushings all around, nuto new foot, coilovers, and new tires. All in 3 days. OEM shell arm bushings are crap if you don't put them in right
@@juliuspoorman9170 - It's still on today as we speak. Don't try to "predict" please... It's for people with biipoooolllaas.... Stick with something called "Basic Science" !!!
I did same way, now 5 years still in good condition .
So, "ONLY" five fucking rusted bolts from hell....before a successful removal, right? And I haven't even watched the video yet. Be sure to say....PRE-SOAK w/ WD-40
for 6 months prior to removal. Literally today, (2021-07-2021) picking up my '99 Civic for a non-related repair: I just got quoted (for a strictly BUSHING)= rear arm replacement......$923.00 They are telling me about 2hrs. per side, 4hr. Labor, and about $150/parts. Again, NO r.arms- just the bushing. -Metro Seattle
