rear lca bushings

[CIVICLX93]

i have energy suspension bushing but i purchaced new aftermarket megan lca for the rear the bushing will fit if pressed in but where the top and botom bushing go there is an extra peice that takes up alot of space in the housing for the bushing any one have the energy kit with after market rear lca's? how did you press in the bushings with the extra peice or without?

Don't the LCA come with bushings pressed in already?

[CIVICLX93]

yes but i have the energy suspension kit and had the the bushings presed out of the rlca's to put the energy bushings in

energy suspension bushings dont fit in megan rca's trust me i talked ot a sales rep and well its kinda obvious that they dont megan has a special designed metal cased bushing energy suspension doesnt. thus no fit.

wow damn do you think its wise to press back in the bushings that came with the megans seeing that i pressed them out already is it safe?

[maxassassin]

i wouldnt see why not but i might have that professionally done. but trust me your not the only one to ask those questions. i to had megan rca's and since i was up grading to poly i asked the questions. but iasked a sales rep. but get it done by a shop so if they screw it up your not out money.

thanks thats a bummer that i cant use the polys with the megan so u have the megans on with the original bushings?
anyone tried to press in the energy bushings ina a megan set up?

[maxassassin]

well i had the megans on. i went back to stock so i could use the poly's in the rear but honestly if you look at the megan arm and the poly bushings there jsut got the same. the megan arm has a steel jacketed bushing. the poly bushing is just a doubles sided poly insert wit ha steel rod in the center. i mena like i said i asked a sales rep about it. partly because thsoe megan bushigns dont last worth a shit. mine are a year old and there already fucked.

the bad thing about it is that one of my original rca's is bentthats why i went for the megan

[maxassassin]

well honestly the weight you loose with those arms isnt really lot. and if you do a sick suspension set up with sway bars and stuff it wont make a difference any how. so jsut get them pressed back in and use them for now. or go to a junkyard and pick another one up.
