    that is the best kit to get, it covers nearly everything in the front end..the bushings that are not included are:

    -front sway bar mount bushings
    -rear sway bar mount/endlink bushings
    -rear upper control arm bushings ( same size as tie-rod ends)
    -rear control arm/shock mount bushing



    if I am forgetting anything else someone please correct me.

      I don't think it has the rear trailing arm bushings either, and those are important. I believe Honda dealers have recently started selling them individually, hit up a dealer when you're ready to replace them.

      I'm hoping to be in your shoes regarding bushings in summer. Let us know how it goes!

        I just finished installing the hyperflex on my 91'. It went pretty well over all, but doing it without a press was NOT fun. I used a torch to burn out the bushings (more like soften them up enough to pull out the metal insert, then scrape the remains out of the shell). I then carefully hacksawed through the shell and drove it out with a punch. Took forever, but I got it done. I noticed a pretty good improvement overall. It does squeak a tiny, tiny little bit, but it's really not bad at all.

            Prothane do a rear kit with everything except the trailing arms and the rear shock mount.

                  be sure to use the lube that comes with the master bushing kit.

                  That should help with the squeaks.
