Default Re: 1990 Civic Suspension Questions


Well, I did exactly that job on my 92' Si a couple of years ago. I opted
only for rubber parts, and I replaced all rubber parts. It runs much
more stable since.

Surprisingly, big bushings were not a problem at all - I easily pressed
them out with a sledge, and the new ones easily slipped in under the
light hammer hits after spending a few hours in the freezer.

Lower arm I had to outsource to the shop with 20 ton press, and this
was barely enough.

The real problem were upper and compensator arm, because of seized
bolts. I had to use grinder and sabre saw to get those parts out, and I
ruined them in the process – so I had to get the new ones.

Hope this helps.
