00:00Okay, so your car's been making net clunk over every speed bump, the steering feels vague,
00:04and your tires are wearing funny on the inside edges, yeah, that's almost always worn control
00:09arm bushings. I've spent the last couple weeks digging through hundreds of listings, reading
00:14through the reviews, and comparing prices, and I've narrowed it down to the 5 best suspension
00:18bushing kits you can actually buy right now. Let's get into it. Starting off with the CNS-PED
00:25Front Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit for the Honda Civic EK and EJ, covering 1996 through 2000,
00:31and it even fits the step one. This one's polyurethane, so instead of that soft rubber
00:36that turns to mush after 10 years of heat cycles, you get a material that actually holds its shape
00:41and keeps your alignment where you set it. At $40.85 it's not the cheapest on this list,
00:47but it's got a perfect 5-star rating with nearly 4,750 sold, and that's the kind of track record
00:53I trust. If you're driving your Civic hard, autocrossing it, or just tired of replacing
00:58rubber bushings every few years, this is the set it and forget it option. Next up, and this one's
01:04for the Volkswagen crowd, the 3C0199231DOEM Aluminum Front Control Arm Bushing Set, 4 pieces,
01:11fitting the Passat B6 and B7, the CC, and the Tiguan. Now if you own one of these, you already
01:17know the
01:18rear control arm bushing is the weak point, and the hydraulic ones love to leak and collapse.
01:23This is the proper OEM spec replacement with the aluminum housing, not some generic knockoff.
01:29At $133.78 it's the priciest pick here, but compare that to what a dealer or independent shop
01:35quotes you for parts alone, and it's honestly a bargain. 4.9 stars, over 4,700 sold, people are
01:43clearly happy with it. Now if you're on a tight budget and you just want the clunk on, check out
01:48this set of two front suspension control arm bushings for the Honda Civic, CR-V, Element, and the
01:53Acura ELN RSX, part number 51392S5A004. $14.39. That's it. That's less than lunch. It's a straight OEM
02:06style rubber replacement, so you keep that factory-ride comfort and quietness, which honestly a lot of
02:12people prefer for a daily driver. 4.7 stars and 4,686 sold. If your car is a commuter and
02:20you just
02:20want it to feel new again without spending real money, this is the easy call. Then there's the
02:26six-piece polyurethane control arm bushing kit for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic EK, and this is the value
02:32play of the whole video. $14.01 for a full six-piece kit, that math barely makes sense. You're getting
02:40poly bushings, so sharper turn-in, less deflection under load, and way better longevity than the
02:45originals. It's sitting at a perfect 5-star rating with over 4,500 sold. If you're already going to
02:53have the suspension apart, spending $14 to do all six at once instead of one at a time is just
02:58smart
02:58wrenching. And rounding out the list, the polyurethane red suspension arm bushing kit for the
03:04Civic EK and EJ, 1996 through 2000. Same idea as the first one, but these come in that bright red
03:11poly finish, and look, if you've got a built Civic and someone's peeking in the wheel well at a meet,
03:16that detail matters. Beyond the looks, it's a full kit at $35.27 with a clean 5-star rating and
03:23nearly
03:234,500 units sold. Solid middle ground pricing, complete coverage, and the kind of feedback that
03:30tells you these actually fit without fighting them into place. Alright, that's my top 5.
03:36I've dropped links to every single one of these down in the description, so go grab whichever one
03:40fits your ride. If this helped you out, hit that like button and subscribe, I put out videos like
