unless you did some seriously bad stuff to that bushing, in a 1999 car, it shoulnt need replacing....
why do you think you need to repalce it?
jojo- could you explain 'vulcanised' for me?
lol, its funny seeing ur teg half lowered right? it took me two days to do my install, and i had the rear freaking slammed the first day, and i just left it like that overnight until i could do the front....man, my integra has never looked so retarded before, lol
This is were the rubber from the bushing is "melted" to the steel insert or to the arm itself. It has to be melted out. Or if there is a steel sleeve between the arm and bushing you can have it pressed out.

Haha actually, I had ITR springs on the car and the rear is a little more then 3 fingers gap, now the front is exactly 3 fingers gap so it looks good now, but still I do need to put the springs all on the car.
The problem was thatw e were trying to get the bushing out and like Jojo said...it melted
boo, cheapo Honda parts...this is perfect example of one of them.
It takes alot of heat to melt those out. Why were you trying to get the bushing out? The bolt should go right back were it was even with the new shock.
If you melted the bushing out your going to have to cut the sleeve out to get the new one in.
Does anyone has a digram of the suspension? I called Acura and they wanted $25 EACH! I was like WTF...for freaken pieces of rubber? rip off! I really need to make sure we're talking about the same pieces here and if all comes down I will order online...acura is a rip off for sure
i'm upgrading mine to polyurethane bushings. I'll still have to burn the thing out, but i got a butane torch to take care of that. I think the urethane bushings will be a cheaper option, i don't remember how much they were, but cheaper than $20 i think for the upper and lower shock bushings per set.
