honda civic 97 trailing arm

[andrewbugs]

Gurus, question re. trailing arm of my honda civic. damaged na ang bushing sa trailing arm. assembly ba ito or the bushing can be replaced? pwede DIY lang?

It's the bushing inside the trailing arm assembly (circular shape black colored). I had mine replaced a few years back. Better have it replaced at your trusted repair shop.

dami nyan sa auto supply. make sure to get the oem or better yet get from honda mismo tapos pakabit mo sa labas. it cannot be done DIY not unless you have a machine press at home.

pinaka maganda talaga ang OEM.. kaso masyadong mahal. Yung replacement medyo mura. dami nyan sa mga shops sa banawe. Di mo kayang i DIY yan.. dahil need mo ng machine shop. Pero ginawa ko dati sakin, ako ng nagbaklas tapos dinala ko sa machine shop. siningil lang ako ng 150 pesos for 2 press-out & press-in job.

madali masira ang OEM at replacement. pinagawa ko yung sa akin years ago, customized galing sa mga gulong ng truck until now 5 years na ayos pa din.

Yep pwede rin ito.

The only downside is harder bushings tend to negatively impact ride quality. Aside from the springs, the bushings are the most important contributor to ride quality. Harder bushings firm up the ride for better handling.

FYI lang.

Sa kin replacement lng 600 petot isa pukpok lng sa talyer, ok na mas mganda pa rin kung buong assembly kaysa sa bushing just what sir Type 100 said.

guys, update ko lang. have not yet replaced the trailing arm bushings, kasi wala pa akong time. im planning to bring the whole assembly sa shop to install the bushing, at sa bahay ko nalang ikabit ang assembly. im planning to fix the suspension DIY for the holidays. sa likod muna tapos sa front. if hindi kaya then dalhin ko sa shop. any suggestion to replace/check to improve my ride? natanggal ko na ang shock assembly pero not the coil spring. I asked a friend pwede daw ang wire to compress the coil to get the absorber. try ko if possible, if not sa shop narin

[andrewbugs]

Just replaced my trailing arm bushing and replaced my shock absorber also. bushing cost me P450/pc (replacement only), machine press P350/pc, and shock absorber P1950/pc kyb Excel G, kabit ng coil spring P100/pc. Matagtag pala ang KYB vs original.
