Title: Need help finding RSB bushings ASAP
Post by: Fanitron on July 05, 2012, 07:01:05 PM
Hey guys sorry for making a new thread but I really hope someone can help me out. I ordered a new TL-S rear sway from oemacuraparts last night and it was shipped today, when I checked my invoice I noticed that I had accidentally ordered the holders and not the bushings  :mad6: since it's already shipped, it's too late to switch it or have them add it to the current order. As I live in Canada, getting just bushings shipped here from a dealer is ridiculous so I'm looking on ebay for some universal bushings that will work... I just don't know what bracket type it should be and if the ID should be 19mm or 20mm (the bar is 20mm). I would like to order them ASAP so it gets here when the bar arrives. IF, by any chance, someone has extra bushings they would like to sell me or has a link for them it would be awesome too. Thanks for your help!

There's one thing that pisses me off to no end and that's seeing thread titles like, "HELP!" I mean seriously, what the fuck do you intend to get out of a topic title like that? I'll guarantee that you'll catch a boatload of shit from me and others. How is a topic title like that helpful to anyone else searching for the same damn thing? Think about that for a minute.



As for your dilemma, the ID should be 20mm as the RSB is 20mm. Pretty simple, right? I don't know where you'd be able to find them aside from where you ordered your RSB from but you can try your local dealer or I believe some auto parts stores carry Energy Suspension pieces so you may be able to make that work.

Thank you for changing the title, was not really thinking when I posted as I was more pissed at myself for not ordering the right part in the first place. I actually just got in touch with a local dealer that has them in stock and I am heading out to pick them up now. Thread may be closed now thanks!

No reason to close the thread. I'd rather it stay open for anyone else that may be looking later.

Cool. BTW, the reason I asked about ID was because Rockauto had a Raybestos aftermarket bushing but listed at 19mm ID so I got really confused as to why it would be 1mm smaller than the actual bar. In case anyone else needs to know it is 20mm as per Honda/Acura.

Well, you could've gotten away with that bushing as I was able to bolt on a 17mm TL RSB with my factory 13m bushings. Drove it that way for a few years too.

I know HeelToe sells aftermarket bushings for about $20

Thanks for the info. I didn't want to order from HeelToe, Rockauto, etc. mostly due to shipping costs for such a small item. Ended up getting OEM bushings from a dealer here for $11 after taxes. Shipping alone was going to be $25-30 :mad6:

I completely missed that you are up in Canada. Yea $11 is fair. Good luck on the install.
