Trailing arm bushing development.

FWIW, I’ve got those exact TAs on my RS and haven’t had any issues(at least that I know of).
Duy, are the bushings in?

I should know today, Nino. Darrin’s been pretty busy.

Nino, it was jon who had problems so i guess it differs, but from the post on honda-tech, i didn’t like what i read about what could happen if the bushings happen to “ever” bind, just being on the safe side, might as well go with stock, not saying they suck

UPDATE!!!

I stopped by West End yesterday and saw one DA trailing arm complete with an EF/DC Mugen bushing installed. He had to take some material off the DA sleeve and even then the DC bushing was a tight fit. I’ll post pictures when I pick them up. I can’t wait

Hey Arman,
I know it was Jon’s arms. That’s who I got mine from.

Duy,
Can’t wait to see the pics.

Thanx for reminding me…

DA . OEM ta bushings are here…

So d00d didn’t need to weld the Mugen bushings into the DA TA bushings? That would be a step that’d I’d like to skip if at all possible.

He said that the press was so tight, the bushing will pull out of the trailing arm before it pulls out of the DA sleeve.

Colin · May 6, 2004, 5:45pm

wow, so it work’s w/o too much modification, and no welding Thats great duy!

system · May 6, 2004, 6:28pm

SO…

Part# 52385-SK7-N02 is DEFINITELY a DA TA Bushing?

I can get them here in Jersey as well…just want to be sure. And if it really is…why is it a Honda Part#???

Thx

How much are these DA bushings? And would the install be significantly easier than the Mugens? I can probably order some up out here.

FAMILYG2 · May 6, 2004, 11:05pm

List is $57 ea. They press right in/out of your old arm.
They are def. the right part number,
I’ve already sold 2 sets to some ind. honda specialists around the area.
I have no Clue what they would fit on Hondas side, exept maybe a del sol… It will not tell me, nor is there a parts bulletin on it like the civic bushings.
