Crack in Rear Suspension Bushing
Honda recently found a circumferential crack in both of the bushings
for my lower arms of my rear suspension (for a 98 Civic). This bushing connects the lower arm to the rear strut, but I was wondering how serious this really might be. I took the car to a different mechanic who told me not to worry about them, but I am new to the area and don't really know if I can trust him. Any comments would certainly be appreciated since the repair for this item seems to be quite high due to labor. (This crack appears to be about 90 degrees around, and also appears to be slowly growing.) |

Crack in Rear Suspension Bushing
Thanks, that seems to be general thing I have been hearing. I ended up
going to another mechanic who said the exact same, so I'll be on the look out for the clanking and also make sure to have the trailing arm bushing looked at regularly. Hoping to keep this car for another couple of years so that it can live up to some of this Honda reputation. Is there any other typical trouble areas for a 98 civic that would be good to look for? Thanks again, Dave Mathis |

Other than rust and the usual Main Relay trouble, not really. If you have a Delco alternator, those are prone to failure either way (under or over charging). -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
