Energy Suspension Front Control Arm Bushings for 90-93 Integra

Energy Suspension Front Control Arm Bushings for 90-93 Integra

The front control arm bushings on a DA Integra are soft factory rubber, and on a car this old they're long past done, cracked, sagging, and letting the control arms move around under load. That worn rubber is why the front end feels vague, wanders a little, and clunks over bumps. This Energy Suspension set presses into your existing front upper and lower control arms and replaces that tired rubber with polyurethane that actually holds the arms where they belong.

The result is a front end that wakes up. Steering response gets quicker and more direct, the car tracks straighter, and the slop between your hands and the front tires goes away. For a lightweight, tossable car like the DA, sharpening up the front bushings is one of the cheapest ways to make it feel tight and connected again. Polyurethane also shrugs off the oil, road salt, and grime that rot rubber, so you're not doing this job again in a few years.

The honest tradeoff: more feedback

Poly is firmer than rubber, so you'll feel and hear a little more of the road than you did on worn-out stock bushings. On a driver's car that's exactly what you want. Worth knowing if your DA is a comfort-first cruiser. Use plenty of the included grease on install, that's the single biggest thing that keeps poly bushings quiet and stops the squeak these are sometimes known for.

Red and black are the same polyurethane at the same hardness, so it's purely a color choice. The black is graphite-impregnated to be a little more self-lubricating, while red is just the look (and makes wear easier to spot on a track car). Pick whichever you want, then grease them well on install. Confirm your car is a 90-93 Integra before ordering, since the 94-01 (DC2) uses different parts.
