One of my front lower control arm bushings is seized and the other isn't in very good shape either, I was wondering if anyone knew where to purchase just the bushings. You have to buy the entire control arm from Honda.

I ordered replacement bushings by Mugen from a local shop in June, and they still haven't arrived (real awesome). It's affected my alignment enough that my front tires (which are relatively new) are pretty much bald now. I suppose if I can' t order the bushings from anyone else I should try and find some used control arms.

Any help as to where I can order the bushings from would be great! Thanks.

 

I have the mugen bushings in my car. They are great. What is the shops excuse for taking so long? I got mine in 4 days.

 

The place they order from is in California and apparently that place has to get them from Japan, and they only get shipments once a month, and blah blah, it's really getting irritating. Did you order yours online?

 

interested...

do you have pictures of the seized bushings?

 

I wanna see pictures too.

I contacted ES (Energy Suspension) and they told me they should be releasing a set of bushings for our cars next summer.

They don't do a castor, that is only available from Mugen as far as I know.

 

Hey guys, thanks for all of your responses, after numerous attempts to try and get some good pictures of the bushings, I've given up. Currently, all I have is my 2 megapixel phone camera. I've looked at all the front bushings (upper and lower) and none of them look out of the ordinary.

However, I did notice what appeared to be some rust or discoloration on the the upper bushings, could this possibly be related to the seized bushings? I'm not sure which ones are seized, it's been so long since it was at the shop.

I gave powerflex a call and they'd have to order the bushings from the UK which would take at least 2-3 weeks if they have them in stock, so at this point I'm still undecided.

Would you think that the seized bushings would have any visible traits? (i.e. the rust I was describing.)

yeah, already been there, they only sell the entire control arm, not just the bushings.
