96 Accord LX Sedan: Where to buy rear toe arm bushings?
Where the heck can I buy a new rear toe arm bushing for my 96 Accord LX Sedan?
I've checked: The local parts stores Ebay Some various online aftermarket suspension websites Even the dealership doesn't sell them separately However they can be pressed out and changed just like any other bushing ( which is what I need to do ). I took it in for an alignment and the idiot broke the toe bolt with his giant 2.5ft ratchet! Now the bolt shank is rusted and stuck in the center of the toe arm bushing, but won't come out! I can't remove the toe arm without breaking / ruining several other parts and I can't drive the car the way that it is. I was able to use an electric saw and a thin metal cutting blade to cut the eccentric toe bolt on both ends ( to free the tow arm ). So now that I have the toe arm free, I'm still trying to drive the stuck bolt shank out of the bushing, but I'd MUCH rather just replace the bushing. I attached a diagram that shows the bushing that I need. It's being pointed at by #20 and #21 on that diagram. #28 is the broken bolt that I had to cut and #57 is the nut that the genius at the alignment rack snapped off |

I ended up pressing it out with a ball joint remover tool, drilling out the broken bolt and spending a couple hours with a chainsaw file getting the bolt out. It was AMAZINGLY stuck!
Now I have to press it back in and put the new bolt in. |
