Replacement rear swing arm bushings

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

To replace the bush (or silentblock) of the rear suspension oscillating arm, it is necessary to remove the arm itself from the car. Therefore, lift the car on a lift, remove the wheel in correspondence with the suspension to be repaired (it is also necessary to remove the drum and the shoes to release the handbrake cable and the brake oil pipe connected to the piston) . Then remove the fixing pins of the swinging arm and remove it to place it on a workbench. Before removing the old bushing, make reference marks for the position of the bushing. Then extract the bushing with a hammer and insert the new one following the references previously reported. Reposition the rocker arm by refitting all the fixing pins and fixing the cable guides of the handbrake and of the brake hose in the appropriate holes. Finally, reassemble the shoes (paying attention to the positioning of the levers and springs), the drum and the wheel.
