- Thanks for checking the video out, this job was pretty simple and straightforward; though some parts definitely fought us along the way! By the magic of editing, you didn't see the full hour of fighting with that stuck bolt and getting the first bushing out..

just gunna mention you missed the greasing of the bushings part. but other than that great vid for people who don't have a press!
Yes, and I had to take it back apart to do that… they were squeaky!
@@TBsGarage😊
I learned this the hard way too. 😂
Wow the most quick guide and easy installing for upgraded bushings. By far the best i seen done quick. Awesome job in the underpart of the civic bro 🤙
True Craftsman. These guys are awesome. They never skipped a beat when confronted with an impossible challenge.
Thanks man, we try
Great video. I have a 96 EK in Australia. My control arms didn’t come apart like yours (all one piece). With the bushes I drilled / jigsawed mine out. I got the same result in the end. Thanks
respect for the level of get er done
fast af bro.! love that mullet too no homo. gonna tackle this job when weather clears.. my car is dancing when it hits a bump.
Great video, I hope my bolts come out easier since I love in a rust free state
Thought this was whistling diesel for a min. Actually fixing something😄nice i needed this
Me too😂
this is a great vid bro keep it up
Thanks man
Great video gents.
Awesome video !
Thanks!
That was nice bro congratulations.
Thanks!
taken off my civic suspension fork a bunch of times a jack on the lower arm to line up the fork hole works perfect it wiggles in with no hammering
Great stuff
Thanks JOMI!
good shit no rambling straightt to point
Thanks! I try to cut out the parts from videos I have watched and get annoyed with
I am definitely going to tackle my front Lca's this week but I am thinking if I have a ball joint press, It might save me some time instead of removing that bolt u heated up and used the impact on.. would be great but I'm not sure if id have enough clearance to do so. But I'm hoping the c clamp will press it completely out with the collar so I can just go pop the new ones in . Awesome Video now I know exactly what to expect !
Did you do it already? How'd the press work for ya?
@@TBsGarage Yeah the tool worked pretty good better than I expected because getting everything else done was a nightmare everything was factory but so busted up so bolts seizing and snapping left and right lol. But now my whole suspension is complete I couldn't be happier. Thanks a lot !!
Installed some upper a arm bushings on 88 civic you know how the a arms won’t move when the bolts are tight, when I installed the poly bushings the a arms just swing even after tightening the bolts the bushings just swivel on the steel insert
U did it
Yeah
What about the other bushing connected to fork?
You have no sway bar on that thing?
A great how NOT to video. I hope he learned the proper way after this.
How do you know.That you must change your rubber bushings?
Yeah, which ones are you referring to?
Feel any difference in handling or steering response?
Yes, I could tell that it was tighter than before, hard to describe but driving it was undeniable
Though you were supposed to gress "rubber " bushings.
Prothane bushings don’t act the same as rubber, they are much harder and naturally slippery. There was lot of greasing and anti-seize not shown cause of the ‘mechanical aptitude’ needed for this job
@@TBsGarage Notice the " marks
They don't last You let the car sit for a few months they'll rotten that happened to me I had to change everything again after I did lower control arms everything parked the car for a year when I started driving the car All the polyurethane started coming apart now I'm stuck with the luxury replacing everything brand new that I haven't even driven on yet so make sure that you keep silicone on them keep greasing them every few months if the car is parked because once you move it after it's been sitting for a while the polyurethane comes apart that's what I don't like about it they're good for handling but they don't last long if you let the car sit.
Just curious but for some reason I thought there were three bushings on a lower control arm? Asking for a friend. Lol 😂
better off with a Milwaukee impact 🤣
will this kit work on my 99 tegra mine are so bad
I don't know Rick...
not sure, gonna have to call an expert
Could have been better if what you dismantled is derusted and painted.
yeah, I thought about it but because of a short timing constraint I couldn't get to it
Yeah, I always clean-up threads (both tap & die), wire-brush and re-paint parts that come of the car. In this case, *definitely* those outer washer thingies. And then anti-seize & add washers wherever appropriate. BTW, my prothane bushing kits came with a silicone grease packet.
@@jimwinchester339 mine came with grease as well, if you forget to put it on them they’ll squeak.. I think I missed that in the vid so I’ll add it on the comments.
Also, I do use anti seize on basically all of the bolts and nuts.. not always gonna show it because some people have pretty touchy opinions on it, but nothing ever goes back together and is hard to take back apart if you get what I’m saying
almost looks easier to just buy new lower arms with pre-pressed bushings,
Could be, depends on how much you want to spend on it
