Description of Improved Front Control Arm for Acura - Energy Suspension 16.3116R

Durability is superior for cars, trucks and SUVs; road salt, oil, and a host of other common under car contaminants will eventually destroy the rubber bushings on your vehicles, not to mention the weight and torque forces that typically compress rubber. Hyper-Flex replacement polyurethane components stand up well to contaminants that often destroy rubber and have been engineered to give longer-lasting performance and not compress permanently. Hyper-Flex is offered in a variety of durometers (firmness or softness), depending on product application; performance tested and race proven; used for all of Energy Suspension products that require a higher level of performance and durability. If you are modifying, building a new vehicle for scratch or restoring an old one, Energy Suspension's Hyper-Flex performance polyurethane should be the 'ground zero' focus of your present and next vehicle plans. Over two decades of in-house experience in innovating, engineering and formulating wide selection of polyurethane components for many different industries, Energy Suspension has qualified as premier manufacturer of the high quality polyurethane products.

ES Poly Bushing: Replacement Parts

Ordered this item to replace worn stock on a 2001 Honda Civic (150,000 miles). Was sent and delivered quickly as expected. Would recommend to other buyers. We plan to install for Thanksgiving or Christmas. The bushings are installed using a Harbor Freight Press, it was a bit tricky to put back together but this DIY repair was worth it. I didn't even have to adjust it afterwards, it improved my alignment and I was completely happy with the front end lift.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not bad

Perfect fit for my 02 civilian coupe

Perfect fit for my 02 civilian coupe. Notice a slight improvement in cornering ability during fast cornering. frame.TBH I wish I still had the OE rubber bushing for a comfortable and smooth ride. Great if you like riding hard and riding trails. But if you travel the city like mines on a daily basis, think twice. No squeaks because I greased them well and treated the outside surface with SuperLube, but you can sometimes hear a few creaks.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Minor issues

Excellent goods! - Spares

I bought these for a 2001 Honda Civic EX. They're great, but you'll need a vise or machine press to get the large bushings into the front of the control arm. I used a vise and made sure to lubricate the bushing well with the grease provided and use the vise to push it into the wishbone as far as possible and then finish it off by simply pushing it through with my hand to finish it off to push. They will just pop out once you start using them with a vise. The suspension is now great for the car.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Empty

Good quality bushings if you have the opportunity to install them.

At the time of writing this article I haven't even bothered to install these jacks which I bought almost a year ago. Because? I couldn't install them. With the way parts prices are set these days, I can buy any new control arms that already have bushings installed, saving me the hassle of pushing out the old bushings (which are badly rusted) and pressing them in. saves me a lot of time. Because these bushings are strong, they make the Civic bike stiffer but improve handling. The bushings…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Better but not perfect.

They are much more durable than the original bushings originally installed in the car. They're not that difficult to install, they're a little frustrating as they still have to be pressed lightly into the control arm, not as difficult as pressing in a one-piece bushing, but they're fairly stiff and won't go easily without much power in. Overall the worst part of the whole process was removing the bearing bushings as they are pressed in and like all other bushings makes life difficult if you are

Pros
  • Convenient item
Cons
  • Compatibility
