Replacement of Rear Wishbone Bushes

Model: Honda Civic MK 8 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Bushings

To replace the bush (or silent block) of the rear suspension wishbone, it is necessary to remove the wishbone from the vehicle.
Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift, remove the wheel corresponding to the suspension to be repaired (it is necessary to also remove the drum and shoes to disconnect the handbrake cable and the brake oil pipe connected to the piston). Then remove the securing pins of the wishbone and extract it to position it on a workbench.
Before extracting the old bush, mark reference points for the position of the bush itself. Then extract the bush with a hammer and insert the new one following the previously marked references.
Reposition the wishbone by remounting all the securing pins and securing the handbrake cable and brake pipe in their respective holes.
Finally, remount the shoes (taking care with the positioning of the linkages and springs), the drum, and the wheel.
