Lightbulb Trailing arm questions?

I was told that I need to replace my rear trailing arm bushing on my 95 EG but that in order to replace the bushing I have to replace the entire trailing arm because Honda somehow attaches the bushing in a way that you cannot remove it. Is this true? If so, is there a company that makes after market or lightweight trailing arms? Please let me know if you have any info. Thanks.

I had to replace both rear trailing arms. It sucks. Apparently you can get the bushings out with a press (didn't know this at the time) and you can force new ones in with a press (easier said than done...). Their are companies that make light arms but I can't remember the names now. Stick with your stock arms and find a shop with a press, save the money, just get some new bushings.

You can replace the trailing arm bushings with Prothane bushings.
