wrong post bro. dapat to sa car talk o kaya sa workshop. (naks! feeling admin ako ah.

)

Ok, now that this thread is in the proper forum, i suggest you go for the OEM trailing arm bushings. Bakit mo naman titipirin ito eh bihira naman masira?

Hindi naman fatal pag hindi pinalitan, yun lang nga, very irritating kasi may "tug" sa sound every time may humps or lubak

Hindi naman ganung kamahal yung OEM, para tipirin mo pa. Meron din Polyurethane bushings, but kung namamahalan ka sa OEM, you can forget these coz theyre even more expensive.

Nakapagtanong narin ako sa mga mekaniko, talagang SIRAIN daw yung OEM na trailing arm (esp HONDA), advise nya mas maganda daw fafabricate yan, mas matagal masira and mas cheaper daw...

sori for the wrong posting..pasencya na po! bago lang kasi ako dito....i'm still trying to find my way...tsk.tsk.

punta ka sa hcp forum, may ongoing discussion dun on fabricated trailing arm bushings...

di fatal yan, annoying lang... yung sa akin dati halos 1 yr bago ko pinalitan.

**pajerokid** · September 3rd, 2003 04:51 PM

Sheesh! ang hina naman pala nung bushing ng Honda?! 1 year lang?! Gawsh!

**OTEP** · September 3rd, 2003 06:55 PM

1 year lang ba tumatagal yun? 1996 model pa ang sasakyan ko pero buhay pa naman ang bushings. hehehe.

trailing arm bushing ko lasted 5 years bago ko pinalitan. my ride is a 97 civic lxi. pinalitan ko lang ng replacement trailing arm bushing. bought from banawe. 400 each. oks pa naman : )

oops, malabo yata post ko... what i mean is nung nasira yung trailing arm bushing ko, halos 1 yr ko bago pinalitan and wala namang masamang nangyari... annoying nga lang dahil maingay.

madali lang ba palitan ang trailing arm bushing?

matagal nang sira sa ESI 95 ko (more than 5 years na) pero hesitant ako papalitan kasi mukhang maraming babaklasin which means i could end up with more trouble if reassembly isn't done quite right ... besides, i don't notice any problem while driving, no noise, no instability

the honda bushing do look like it won't last :confused:

**wrecker** · September 5th, 2003 02:54 PM

ako sa petron station sa connecticut ko pinapalitan, took about half a day kasi pina "machine" pa yung bushings.

**pajerokid** · September 5th, 2003 05:09 PM

ah ok :D

Yung from the day i got my EG Hatch till the day i sold it wala akong pinalitan na bushing e :D That's why nagtataka ako.

Anyways, kung matibay naman pala, ok na rin to spend on OEM. Besides, Php 2,000 lang naman for the set eh. Bakit titipirin eh, kung tatagal naman ng 5 years , my goodness, thats only P400 a year! :D

My 0.02. Peace! :D

to add to this subject...

kpag pansin mo n madaling masira ang trailing arm bushing mo, ex. every half or 1 yr e ngpapalit k, dat means you have a problem on your suspension system. some problems associated e sira n mga shocks or other bushings for suspension ky d n din kinakaya ng trailing arm bushing ang tagtag.

TRAILING ARM BUSHING (kpag punit n ung goma or sira n) *
1. low speed -di mo masyado ramdam effect.
2. medium to high speed- coming from acceleration den stepping on the brake you will feel n ung likod ng kotse e sumu sway or pumapalo sideways.

I hope this help.....

trailing arm bushing nasa likod makikita sa trailing arm assembly, the assembly on the lower part of the suspension para syang malaking hinge and made of metal.

wrecker,
wat you mean pina "machine" ang bushings? pede pa repair yun?

**OTEP** · September 7th, 2003 01:18 AM

I think machining is the process of putting in the bushing back into the trailing arm.

**chieffy** · September 7th, 2003 01:03 PM

magkano yung presyo ng fabricated(gawa sa gulong ng truck-solid) na bushing kay emman ng e-racing?

magkano rin kaya presyo ng polyurethane bushing nito sa mga performance shops?

wala talagang kwenta trailing arm bushing...sa akin sira na rin bago ko pa nabili(22 months old pa lang siya noon)

Gi · September 7th, 2003 04:31 PM

chieffy,

wats ur car? yung trailing arm bushing mo ba orig or replacement? im experimenting on replacement parts kasi low on budget. i want to compare how long they last against the originals. tnx

**chieffy** · September 8th, 2003 11:57 AM

Gi, OEM ito...Civic SiR...yung nabibili daw kay emman na gawa sa truck tire eh talagang matibay yun nga lang less comfortable ang ride...
