HELP, rear trailing arm bushings

916 Views 8 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  wret
I have a 95 GSX. I had a bad rear pass wheel bearing, and now it has turnded into a new axle and trailing arm bushing. I cant find rear trailing arm bushings anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find some? The arm is still in the car, the bolt wouldnt come out where it connects to hub assembly, and I had to cut with a sawzall.

You can't buy just a OEM bushing, but an entire new trailing link is rather cheap. Alternatively, this might be the moment to replace all of the bushings with urethane.

I checked energy suspension, and they sell a kit, but it doesnt include the trailing arm bushing. I have looked everywhere, and cannot fing one.
They were in my kit.

Did you get them from energy suspension? If so, was it the rear control arm bushing kit by chance?
I was reading through the good old haynes manual and this said to replace the entire knuckle if the bushing is bad. Any thoughts on this? If I have to do it, I might as well do it now while its out of the car.
Ah no dont bother replacing the knuckle unless you messed yours up.

Like Jtoby my EnergySuspension kit came with trailing arm bushings and bushings for every other spot, heck I had a few extra bushings that I still have no clue as to where they go.
Was that a master kit, or was it the rear control arm bushing kit? You wouldnt by chance have a part number would you?

With only a couple exceptions, Mitsu will want to sell you the part that has the bushing pressed into it, in this case the knuckle. It's not that they are trying to rip you off. They just don't have separte bushings.
