hey guys. im curious to know is it difficult to change the bushing in our accords. should i get a professional to do this? how long will it take? i need new ones horribly. ::squeek, squeek, squeek:: constantly coming out of that damn suspension is about driving me nuts. plus embarrassing cuz other people can hear it. so any advice on how hard this task is gonna be would be great. thanks guys!

ya sure. considering i checked the bushings and whew. dry-rotted, crack, etc. the squeeking is caused my the fact that the bushing can hold the suspension up anf here the suspension parts are rubbing metal on metal. not good. unless im wrong??\

where ya getting at with the grease? i beleive the grease was there so that they wouldnt dry rot so quick like rubber would? whatcha think the problem is then?
hey one quick question that caught my eye on your signature. how do you like your magnaflow exhaust? i was looking into getting one very soon.Comment

i have looked it up... thanks anyways.
well i just did a quick review of the site.... again. and says nothing bout the reason for the grease. so please inform me where your getting at. from what i see on the site it just helps the bushings go in easier cuz ya need alot of muscle to get the stuff in and it helps a lil for keeping the bushings good?Comment

I did my outter tie rod end bushings and upper control arm ball joint bushings. For the Tie Rod ends you'll need a 2 jaw puller. You can change out the rubber bushings as well for your cross-member/radius rod assembly. The set of 4 will run you about $20. Haven't done the radius rods yet because I'm considering getting a custom made crossmember w/ adjustable radius rods made. So the radius rod bushings are just sitting in their box. If you're interested I'll ship them to you for a straight $20.Last edited by Dr.Occa; 03-12-2004, 09:08 PM.
