Civic EG

picked up a 99 integra rear disc swap. not sure of the model. theres a cut wire on the back side of them.. maybe speed sensor or abs?? also, the trailing arm bushings are worn/torn. should i call Acura for those??

they're going into my dx hatch. that cut wire shouldn't be a problem right?? i'm tryin to get everything installed this weekend. they're going in with my new skunk2 LCA's and Sk2 rear camber kit.

any insight is much appreciated

the cut wire is the ABS speed sensor, you dont need it.

as far as bushings, you could go to acura or get energy suspension bushings ftw

looks like acura.... i need them in hand and pressed in so they can go on saturday.

ftmfL they suck. dont let the suspension work as designed.

^^ yup. been doing some reading. OEM FTW. this should be available at the dealers right?? and is it the same part # on most all models???

no dealers do not sell them!!! i hope your on, dealers do not have a separate part number for the bushing for them you have to buy the trailing arm with the bushing, i ran into this when i did my swap, i just swapped the hubs, there are 4 bolts on the back of the trailing arm, plus the castle nut, apply heat and they come off like nothing, or order bushings from autozone they can get them in 2 days or less.

am i gonna have to change or get new hub or wheel bearings to put the extended studs on the back too?? i know the fronts gotta have new bearings for them but will the rear discs also???

honda does sell the bushings... i just called them. they're taxed too at $58 a pop

hmm i called two local dealerships, that sucks, oh well thanks for the heads up, ill order them online next time, they probably just didnt want to be bothered or were just stupid. but yea changing the studs i think you have to pull the axle out of the rear hubs, seems like it would be a pain, but im just venturing a guess.

found them at a local parts store for 28 a piece


now, will i need new bearings to put in the rear extended studs??

yea i got them through a parts store, the honda dealership couldnt get them.

called the parts store and they said to change the rear studs you gotta get new hubs??? whats the deal her folks??

so, should i get the rear wheel bearing for ABS or ones without it?? i'm not gonna be running it.... but they currently have it. does it matter
