- In this video, I install polyurethane control arm and shock mount bushings in my 1995 Civic. I also, Install a Fumoto quick drain oil valve at the end.
These are links to all the bushings I installed.

Control arm bushings: ebay.us/VZ5gso
Shock mount bushings: amzn.to/3xvVxwx
Shock mount bushings: ebay.us/DylClz
I do get a kickback if you use the above links. Or, you could search the terms before the link. ;)

truly appreciate your video, my 95's bushings are absolutely cooked from neglect. Definitely investing in a shop press to get this done.
Good job on doing the hard work, but I would have cleaned and repainted the control arms and fork while you had them out. I’m doing a similar rebuild on my Del Sol. Oven cleaner takes all that grease and grime off with one can as opposed to multiple cans of brake cleaner.
I will have to try this because I'm the same way. Anything I touch, I do my best to bring back to life bolts replaced type of guy try Zep industrial degreaser comes in 5 gal jug it says to dilute use it straight always worked good for me 👍
Most detailed video on how to do these bushings 👍
Replacing lower control arm, sway bar bushings and end links, and upper control arms this Thursday on my 94 civic. Good video brotha.
Thanks and good luck.
That lowering shock mount bushing that's what I've been looking for 😬. thank u 🙏!!
You are very welcome. The lower control arm kit mentioned it in the instructions. If I ever do it again, I might get a kit with all of them in it.
Did these every squeak? Or did any of the other bushings you've done?
Good job ! I have 1993 it’s time to put new bushings and shocks
Good luck man! I had overlooked bushings for so long. Now, they are one of my favorite mods.
Question which one you keep/reuse metal sleeve ? Or did you remove everything ?
those bushings you said you don't know where they go are for the top hat on your shocks
Thanks!! I found that out later. I was confused because I didn't have a spot for him with coilovers
I wish I could ride in it and feel the difference. My 95 coupe has aftermarket oem-style bushings. Replaced last year. But then again, our coilers are different, too.
Imagine with mine oem would have made a big difference too since mine were so shot. What shocks do you have? If I do another, I might do bushings and lowering springs. I can't go as low as I would like with my driveway.
@@MaqsVids Function and Form Type 2. It’s the only modification I’ve got, aside from a short shifter. I’m pretty happy with the ride quality.
Nice. F&F type 2 we're the first coilovers I ever installed on a car (1992 Integra). I was so happy with them that I have been afraid to try another brand. I have purchased 2 sets of type 1 since. Still very happy.
Good job bro. very safety.. can follow the step and detail to install. Thank you.
Thanks!! If you are about to do the same, good luck!
Any tips on pressing the big bushing near the sway bar bushing? Been trying to press them in for over a week now
Nice video bro 👍🏽 I sourced this kit for my 01 Honda CR-V but don’t have a press so I shied away from replacing the bushings. Ended up just buying the whole upper and lower control arm 🤷🏽♂️
Thanks. That would have been so much easier. And, I swear a hear a squeak sometimes now. But, It is so infrequent and faint that I can't locate it. And I can't reproduce it.
@@MaqsVids it was easier but I was bummed I couldn’t use the polyurethane bushings. How does your car ride? Would you say that it’s worth going with polyurethane?
The bushings are great when turning they feel more response it is amazing its called energy suspension master bushing kit which is the same as the video you will need a torch sawzaw and a 70 dollar press from harbor freight all which can be returned and the bushing kit is so easy to install its pretty easy to get the pieces out if you kept the old lower control arms i would say try it out and try installing the bushings
Cool video and great work 🙂
Thanks a lot! I really enjoy making these videos. If you are also working on something, good luck.
Amazing thank you for sharing
Hey Maq
A question please
Does replacing the front control arm bushing with Poly makes the steering wheel vibrate less in high speed?
Hey man thanks for the video! did you notice any difference once you fitted those bushing in?
I know this is a late reply. But, I did notice a difference. The car definitely felt more responsive when turning and I feel more of the road.
Hey Mac. Can you please tell me the socket you used to push on the upper control arm bushings? Or what combo you used. Thanks.
Mac?
Have you replaced all the bushings in the rear yet? Like the trailing arm bushings and theres a theres a few more. Would like to see it. In enjoying your vids. Im about to redo my whole front end myself.
Thanks Chris!! I replaced the trailing arm bushing when I did the rear disc swap. But that was before I started putting stuff on youtube. But I did replace these in some aftermarket bushings.

Good video
Yeeeahhh no blood😂👍🏼 good video thank you
Dude!! I wish that was the case right now. Both, hands bled a little bit from what I did yesterday. And it was a small job. I should have worn gloves.
Do you guys know the bolt sizes for the compliance arm bushings ? Pls and thx 🙏🏼
There 17mm i believe or 19mm
how do they feel?
They make the car feel newer. And, I feel even more of the imperfections of the road. The combinations of poly bushings all around and the coilovers I have make it perfect for me. Think, instant repsponse. There is no slop in my suspension now. But, rough roads and bumps are harsh.
How do they feel? I’m doing mine right now
They definitely make the car feel more stable. More of the imperfections of the road are felt. I really like it. I'm poly all around now with Coilovers. So, it is tight, responsive and "new" feeling. Steering and turning feels like a new sporty car. And, is is less comfortable on bad roads. But I love it.
@@MaqsVidsthanks for the review and install. I can’t wait! I got a 92 eg and am doing poly bushings for my trailing arms. Front control arms, I did blox rear, adjustable camber kits front and rear, new hubs, bearings, ball joints, and then I’m redoing braking. I got a integra type r caliper with Mini Cooper 11in rotor setup for the front over the stock 9.5 brakes, stainless lines, rear disc swap, 15/16 master cylinder and a 4040 prop valve. Should handle and stop like a whole different car now 😈
@@playerinpinkAwesome!! That sounds sick!!! I'm going to look into the mini Cooper brakes. Putting the poly bushings in the rear disc swap was very noticeable. But, my old bushing were shot. I would love to hear how it turns out.
@@MaqsVids I want to say it’s 07 base model Mini Cooper 11in rotors with the integra type r calipers. You’ll need to change your front spindles to ex si or gsr spindles. I can’t stop doing a pull to 140mph without pumping my brakes on my stock dx brakes. It’s sketchy
@@playerinpink Thanks man! I have an EX so that works. And, since you told me about the Mini Cooper rotors, I have seen it on a video. Either it's destiny or the almighty algorithm.
I want to say the ones u can’t figure out are tie rod boots could be wrong
I thought that too. But they were too thick and inflexible and would not fit. They go on the top of the stock style shock setup. I didn't use them since I have coilovers.
@@MaqsVids what’s your ig

I have 1 problem but i can splain because i speak spanish
