Where are the bushings on the trailing arm?
The trailing arm bushings join the axle and pivot point on the body of the vehicle. They are part of a trailing arm suspension in your vehicle. The front trailing arm consists of a set of bushings attached to a bolt that runs through these bushings to hold the trailing arm to the chassis of the vehicle.
How does the trailing arm work on a car?
At the root of the suspension on most vehicles is the trailing arm, which aligns the pivot point of a body with the suspension by way of utilizing a series of arms and bushings for support. Under many circumstances, the trailing arm bushings can withstand tremendous abuse and last for a very long time.
What happens when an arm bushing wears out?
A bushing’s job is to provide cushion and a pivot point for metallic arms and supporting joints. When the bushings wear out, metal tends to “clank” against other metallic components; which can cause a “clunking” sound to appear from under the vehicle. This sound is typically noticed when you drive over speed bumps, or driving onto a driveway.
Where to get rear trailing arm bushings for Honda?
Perhaps plan 1 weekend for 1 side. You can do much better at Rock Auto for the Shock Assemblies. Get good sway bar links and also do the sway bar bushings too (those are simple). You should budget lots of time to do a bushing job, perhaps only one side per weekend. If you have frozen bolts (in the bushings) you will be busy.

2005 EX 2WD AT. Got a problem – rear lower arm bushings are done, scary popping noise from the back. But… these are not the ones that are being sold separately.
Are there bushings in the rear of a RSX?
The RSX Type-S rear trailing arm looks to be the same also. Which could mean that you could upgrade to urethane bushings if it is the same. I have Energy Suspension bushings for an RSX in my front lower control arm as we speak & they fit just fine. But I have never checked rear fitment myself. NC-B17A, thank you very much !
How much does a rear trailing arm bushing cost?
According to the dealer, i’ve got to buy two whole arms (16 and 17 in the picture, $209 each) but i feel kinda stupid to purchase the replacement for a perfectly normal arm. Is there any chance to find just the bushing ?
