Need new rear trailing arm bushes. Any brand suggestions?
Has anyone use Nolathane? Repco quoted $207... gee... such an expensive thing considering its size.

Thinking of energy suspension bush but dunno where to get them in Melbourne.

Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks

Huh ? . Trailing arm bushes , are about $70 each from Honda. Labour would be on the $200+ side from honda and about $100 a side other places

Should get you to do it while replacing the oil in Sydney. :P...
Remember me ;) EK-za with carbon tail light. Thanks for the service man.

Just had my major service... Firstly they quoted me altogether (bush + major service) $1500. So I said no bush, it got down to $750 (major service only).

Definitely. Found Pedders who's willing to do it for $500 (parts + labour). Will look around further...
