Just got the hyperflex kit for the 92 Accord LX and located where all the bushings go except for these four. Two of them are bigger than the other two and together, they are the biggest ones in the whole bushing kit. I believe strut rod bushings are what they're called but I can't recall where they go. They aren't hollow like the boots in the rest of the set either. Can anyone help me out. Heres a pic.

This is my experience with the burshings: The bigger ones go in front, pointed down like this \ / I haven't used any exactly like that for the rear, but I would assume it is the same principle. You are right, they go on the rod. They almost act as bump stops. Good luck!

 

I think they may be a replacement for the bushings under your dust cover on the strut rod... And almost act as the bump stops like sam said...

 

lol.....good question....


there is a rod that goes from the strut, to the front of the car. so there are two rods. two of those bushings go on each rod. pm me if you need a pic.

 

did you already get the bushing on the control arms? man those took me a whole night AND i had to call for some backup

 

and make sure that you use that whole thing of grease that they give you or the bushings will squeak

 

No, I plan on doing it next week cus I'll have 2 days free and I may just need two days to drop the car with new springs and shocks, remove and install all the bushings from the kit and two rear OEM shock bushings, and install a camber kit. THis still doesnt include alignment either. As for the control arm bushings, Ive heard some nasty stories of anger and frustration and that's why I purchased a handy dandy blowtorch to melt the bushings for the front arms and the rear arm. Im still tryin to figure out how ima take out the metal sleeve around the bushing though. THis will be my biggest problem I hear.

 

i wouldnt torch it. do you have a dremel? thats how i did it.

 

if you get stuck shoot me a pm i go online like eleventy billion times a day

 

Yeah I'll defiately hit you up for some help when I start to do it next week. No, I don't have a dremel but I've been meaning to get one since I hear it's pretty much the universal
tool on every forum. I won't have one by the installation since cash is spread thin as it is. I'm pretty damn handy with tools though and do pretty much all installations on the car with the exception of the new brake master cylinder which went out a couple of months ago. Thanks
