That is why the car feels vague turning in, clunks over bumps, and wanders where it used to track straight. This Energy Suspension master kit replaces the bushings across the entire suspension and steering with polyurethane, so the chassis feels tight and predictable again. On a light, simple car like an 84-87 CRX, a full bushing refresh is one of the biggest handling improvements you can make for the money, and these old Hondas respond to it dramatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the complete master set, not a single position. It does the front and rear control arms, the front and rear sway bar and end link bushings, the manual shifter linkage, plus the ball joint and tie rod boots, all in one box. That is why people refreshing one of these cars buy the master kit instead of chasing one worn bushing at a time. Energy's polyurethane also shrugs off the oil, road salt, and grime that rot rubber, so once the car is buttoned up it stays tight for the long haul. Owners running these on autocross and swapped CRX builds report them holding up for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.18101R (red), 16.18101G (black)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComplete master bushing kit, polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy Suspension Hyper-Flex polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront and rear suspension plus steering, both sides\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShifter bushings for manual only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 year \/ 750,000 mile, per manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eENS-1618101R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.18101R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eENS-1618101G\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.18101G\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed and black are the same polyurethane at the same hardness.

The shifter stabilizer bushings only apply if you have a manual transmission. If you have done a B-series swap into one of these chassis, note that the shifter linkage at the transmission end differs on a B-series motor, so the included shifter bushing is for the original setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to know before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, the honest tradeoff, and a full poly kit makes it loud. Going to polyurethane across the entire suspension firms the car up noticeably. You will feel and hear more of the road than you did on fresh rubber, because poly transmits more than the soft factory bushings were designed to. Owners of these cars are blunt about it: a full poly setup is excellent for autocross and spirited street driving, but if you want a plush, isolated ride, this is not the move. For a driver's CRX, the tighter, more connected feel is exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, plan for a real job and grease everything. People have installed this kit at home without exotic tools, but it is a lot of bushings across the whole car, so it is a project, not an afternoon. The single most important step is grease: coat every bushing with the included Formula 5 on install, because a dry poly bushing is what squeaks later. Owners who greased properly report no squeaks years down the road; the ones who skipped it are the squeak complaints you read about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThird, do it while you are in there. Since you are dropping most of the suspension to install these, it is the right time to handle any other tired parts, ball joints, worn shocks, or steering components, rather than pulling it all apart again. On a 40-year-old car that almost always needs more than just bushings, doing it all in one pass saves you repeating the labor. Do it thoroughly once and the chassis stays tight for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1984-1987 Honda Civic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"Included\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis master set covers the full suspension and steering on the 84-87 Civic and CRX.
