Install Suspension Bush - Easy Steps - TIPS - Honda

- The most important thing is working out the exact size sleeves and receiving cups to use. Do it properly and safely.
Sometimes this job can be done with the suspension arms still on the car using a Ball Joint Press Kit "G-Clamp Style" or a Press & Pull Sleeve kit (with threaded rods).
But today I'm doing it the "less frustrating way" using a Hydraulic Press.
I'm using Honda / Acura control arms, but it also applies to many other cars with similar style steel shell bushes. I've done this job on Mitsubishi Evos, Subaru and even on a Holden.
NOTE: some bushes only press in or out from one direction if they have a lip or if they are tapered.
While the gearbox is out of my Honda Integra DC2 Acura, its a good time for me to replace the bushes on the front lower control arms. I press out the old worn bushes in a safe and controlled way, then I press in the new bushes using the correct size tools. Its not too hard.

As always very informative video thx for sharing.
Thank you! All the numbers and details in this video were doing my head in a bit. So I might make another more generic version without so many specific dimensions in the voiceover
Great job thanks for sharing
Thanks mate. not the most interesting task but I do find maintenance jobs to be satisfying when I do it myself
@@UzumakiGarage that’s next level with the hydraulic press. Makes bicycle suspension presses look like child’s play. I’ve used my mini lathe to make bush presses but those car bushes are massive by comparison
@@kenjiwalter5024 what diameter bushes do bikes have?
@@UzumakiGarage maybe 20mm max? Generally smaller like 10-12mm
interesting to see the penetrating oil didn't get on the bushing ring.
Hi mate. yes it was interesting. Maybe if I let it soak for a few days it would have penetrated deeper. Turns out there was very little corrosion so the bushes pressed out very easily. thanks for your feedback :)
@@UzumakiGarage thank you for the great videos. I learned a lot. ~ Mike
@@HiFiInsider thanks Mike. I really appreciate your feedback :)
