I notice that the IS200/300 guys have a simular rear hub + suspension arms like ours, if not the same, and they have lots of bushing kits to replace the old OEM rubber bushings.

Superpro makes all the bushings for the rear end for the IS... anyone try them out yet?

i can see my rear lower control arms are making some noise (at least i think they are) so maybe replacing the bushings could benefit?




they sell it all over ebay and FIGs has them for sell as well.

 

I replaced all the bushings on my civic with poly and I wouldn't do it again because of the noise they make. It drives me crazy. Everything squeaks now. That is my only complaint about poly bushings.

 

how bad was the squeek?

 

did your poly come with grease? squeeky bushings is a known problem however ive heard that if you initially and then continually grease them that the noise goes away

 

Yes I did but the sound doesn't go away. I am curious how you would continue to grease them after being installed??? I guess it is not too bad since it is my weekend warrior but I would use rubber bushing for a DD.

 

one trick is to cut notchs or ribs inside the bushing so it creates a pocket to pack grease in. not sure if thats good or not.

anyways my fronts poly daizens and i dont really notice a squeak at all. just my rear suspension where my oem bushings are worn

 

My castor bushings are poly and there isn't any noise, now that I think of it. I don't know if it is just because it is a honda or if it is because of multiple poly bushing just making everything more stiff.
