1. Man I need a lift..

2. I started curious on how my weekend is gonna be and ended just sad holding my torch staring at the car..

3. Wondering if that's the culprit to all the rear-end clunking sounds on my 2003 Honda Element. I did watch your previous videos, years ago about the rear end sounds…replaced all the stuff you mentioned but clunking still kept on for another 5 years….I'm at 312,000 miles knock on wood! Thanks for all your videos through the years man!

4. Why need alignment after??? What could have caused the alignment to go off?

5. Apparently I got extremely lucky on that toe arm at the front of the trailing arm

6. cakework with the right tools. that bushing press really is magic.

7. The Right tools do make A big difference 👍

8. this the same for honda jazz?

9. Why are you having such a hard time with that bushing??????

10. I did mine today but when I bolt them on they pop back out, any ideas? They’re pressed in flush but keep popping out

11. …..I got to change the suspension bushing on my 1998 Daihatsu Charade. Its a much simpler setup and I will be doing it DIY at home. I will follow your tip to freeze the bushing the night before. Thank you.
    On the same note, back in the 90's, me and my dad changed the bushings on my Mercedes Benz (W116), and boy that was a big, big battle. We tried all heavy tools and heat but it would not budge, untill finally we got a thick walled pipe cut to a good length, got it machined on a lathe and used a big hydraulic press to push it out.!!

12. They sell them on online now

13. I have seen 2 different bushing, the one that on the video is 2 pt bushing and the other one is 4 pt bushing, my question is what is better the 4pt bushing or the 2pt bushing?

14. Former Marine…

15. Hey Eric, can you recommend a rear bushing press for my 2002 civic Ex? It would help please.

16. Nice job

17. I've done alot of hard jobs on my car but i don't think i'd ever attempt the bushings if i had the same setup as the honda in this video luckily setup my car has is easier to work on.

18. I was literally about to step outside and do this but…..

19. If you do this do you need to get an alignment

20. eric I've read that your supposed to sit the weight of the car down before you tighten those trailing arm bolts because if you tighten them all up and the weight of the car sits on them it will cause them to slightly twist and rip ? is this true or not

21. I wonder of that tool works for a jeep patriot, rear trailing link arm bushing.
    I cant find the tools to remove it.
    The part cost me $10
    Those suckers want from $160- to $300 to remove one bushing.

22. Well I'm breaking a civic and someone wants both rear trailing arms, after watching this video, I'm telling him to fuck off

23. Holy ish, now I'm scared to do this myself 😟

24. The bushings go in easy with some hammering if you freeze the bushings then also heat the control arm

25. had the same problem with my toe compensator bushing seizing up at the body end. the nut also dislodged from the body so had to drill a hole to hold the new nut in the body of the car when I replaced the toe compensator

26. Need to do these on my 01 crv. Thanks for the video. I think I can do this. Also, I once rebuilt the front of a 1988 Acura legend, all from watching your videos. Thank you Eric

27. I love how he gives me permission to overdo it on the anti-seize 🤣 its truly great advice thank you eric 👍

28. im putting back together and the nut that goes in the back fell off should i cut a hole

29. Mine rusted so much the bushing and the arm sunk 😀 After some welding work the bushings are in place again. Next replacement will be the whole car 🙂 Very hard job on those civics

30. Hello everyone,

    I have a 2001 integra that needs both trailing arm bushings replaced. I recently got furloughed so due to lack of funds I was wondering if adding polyurethane sealant could be a temporary fix.

    Not planning on doing it yet, just wanted to know if it would do anything to help at all. Thanks.

31. Eric you might want to get a CO2 fire extinguisher. Put out fires without making a huge mess.

32. Anyone have or herd of benifts to solid poly bushes for the same bushing.?

33. you don,t know how to remov and how to install this is absuloutly wrong

34. It's weird to me that that RTA bushing looked so loose!! 🤔🤔

35. I have a '98 CRV and I'm in the middle of replacing the rear trailing arm bushings(with Honda OEM..not messing around with the aftermarket on such a critical item), rear stabilizer bar end-links & bushings,rear struts, and the compensating arms. I bought new bolts for the bottom strut mount and four bolts for the compensating arms. After watching Eric struggle with the inner compensating arm bolt I was fearing the worst since I've owned the vehicle for 22+ years and I know those bolts have never been removed. I live in the Atlantic City area(around 8 miles inland) so although we're certainly not the Rust Belt we do occasionally get snow and our roads are often treated with salt. I was relieved and thrilled when both of the inner compensating arm bolts came loose without too much effort. Before I loosened them I scribed around the bolts to insure they'll be in the same position when I put everything back together. The new trailing arm bushings are resting comfortably in the freezer awaiting installation. Hopefully today goes as well as yesterday.

36. I can't believe my tool broke!!! It's the end of April 2020. Everything takes more time to ship right now.

    I bought the same tool used in this video from jbtools.com and got the drivers side bushing out in about 15 minutes. I cleaned the hole up, put a little grease in it, took the new bushing out of the freezer and hammered in till it caught. I set the tool up on it and started cranking, checking to be sure it was going in straight.

    Then the cup tilted down about 10 degrees from horizontal. I stopped and examined everything and the top arm of the tool was bending. I took it off. The top arm was cracked all the way across about half way through just below the weld. I sent it back and jbtools is giving me a complete refund. I would order another one from them, but they're out of stock. I had to buy from amazon to get it here in a week with free shipping. I like jbtools! If you spend $99 or more they ship it free.

37. Showing where to window that toe arm nut! You are the man for real!

38. This just makes me not want to do it </3

39. Is this the Similar process for removing the trailing arm bushing on 95 honda accord v6?

40. Thank you Eric. I’m about to tackle this on an Integra and your video provides great info.

41. it went well without the video too
