Well my old car has worn bushings, and I'm trying to replace them, I got control arms from wrecked s2000's cheap and harvested the bushings, so far I have the rear's and the lower fronts taken care of, however in my search, I found these

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261994343392 not bad given the bushings you buy from Honda don't work with the front uppers and they're twice as expensive.

Will report once I have them installed.

 

just replace with urethane

 

NO! I rather not have something that requires maintenance, factory bushings can easily last 100,000 miles, you can't say that for poly bushings even if you grease them regularly. Plus my car is a street car.

 

+1. Urethane bushings work ok on a heavy car, where the weight more easily overcomes the inherent sticktion that comes with usimg urathane. For example a muscle car. On a lighter car like ours, not so much. Plus the added maintenance, rubber is a better alternate for our cars, imo.

Bushings are in probably stick them in this weekend. Here's a pic, they feel pretty good, new ones on the right in case you can't tell by the rust. http://imgur.com/Jby8mFi

 

For anyone looking.. Hardrace makes a good bushing set for around $550 dollars. They don't offer the rear lower control arm front bushing but that bushing will usually be okay. I have it installed in my car and everything feels tighter but OEM bushings were fine outside of the seized compliance bushing.

 

Well I got them on the car, feels good to have non destroyed bushings, they work fine, no better than OEM really, but for the money I can't complain. These will hold me over while I piecemeal the rest of the bushings.

The rear lower front bushing is actually two pieces, because it's two pieces it's impossible to tear it, if you put too much load on it, one half will just rotate harmlessly.
