SuperPro have just release a complete replacement so you dont have to reuse your pin and sleeve. Very easy to remove and fit

They are pretty straight forward. There are a couple of tricks if your replacing them on car, but shouldn't be anymore than 3hrs both sides. Hard race and a couple of other compainies make bushes, as well as nolathane & super pro.
Those pivot bushes collapsing is a common fault on all pre 2000 civic & integra's

Top ones. We used the bottom ones because they are a more solid design and it was for our track car, just meant we had to burn out the old rubber and reuse our sleeve and pin, no big deal but if you have the top one you can just rip your old one out and chuck new one in. SuperPro bushes are great though, they last forever and are super easy to install. Very comfortable too!


And mike that video is what I used to know how to do mine and it was exactly like the video, very easy. I did have the whole arm out of the car though in a vice.

He makes it sound so easy. It's no too hard, but takes time to get the RTA out and in the vice like that and back again. Still, it's one of my favourite DIY vids. He sums it up concisely. Americans love their Hondas, I like that about em.
