Does anyone know any companies that make replacement bushings for the front and rear lower control arm dampening bushings? I saw mugen makes one for the front but nothing for the rear. Any other companies maybe like enery suspension or something. Thanks in advance anyone make whole replacement control arm too? That would be an option. New oem arms are going to run like 6-700 bucks so that isnt the route i want to go.

 

Spoon makes a set too.

I thought the bushings that Mugen doesn't make are the upper rears...not lower rears.

 

Since I seem to have ongoing issues with frozen bushings, this is of interest. Are any of these bushings suitable for use on the OEM control arms or only the arms from the same manufacturer?

 

i found used oem arms last night from a local so i solved my problem, but to answer your question the mugen ones are direct replacements for the oem suspension. Just a little stiffer

 

How did the bushings freeze?
Was it a premature failure?

Mine freeze mostly based on driving with salt on the roads in the winter. Starting now I'm going to 1) make sure grease or anti-seize is on them and 2) remove them every year during alignment to force movement and lubrication.

 

This is a major issue in the UK with cars as young as 9 months old having front castor bushes seizing.
Very expensive to fix as Honda won't sell the bushes only the new arm

Powerflex do a full set other than the front castors, we use the Spoon or Mugen ones for those.

 

Having never bought JDM parts, what's the best places in the US for Mugen and Spoon? I know King Motorsports carries Mugen and has the bushings for $88 a pair.
