Hyper-Flex® Polyurethane Construction
Energy Suspension’s proprietary Hyper-Flex® polyurethane is engineered to outperform traditional rubber bushings.
Benefits include:
- Excellent wear resistance
- Increased load capacity
- Reduced suspension deflection
- Resistance to permanent compression
- Long service life
Unlike factory rubber, polyurethane maintains consistent performance under repeated suspension loads.
Improves Rear Suspension Control
Replacing worn trailing arm bushings helps restore proper rear suspension geometry.
Benefits include:
- Reduced wheel hop
- Improved cornering stability
- Better braking stability
- More precise suspension movement
- Improved alignment retention
- More predictable handling
These improvements are especially noticeable on older Hondas with high mileage or modified suspension.
Better Durability Than Rubber
Factory rubber bushings eventually deteriorate from exposure to:
- Motor oil
- Road salt
- Heat
- Ozone
- Moisture
- Dirt and debris
Hyper-Flex polyurethane resists these contaminants, making it a longer-lasting solution for both daily-driven and performance vehicles.
Ideal for Street & Track Use
The 16.7106G bushing kit is well suited for:
- Daily drivers
- Restorations
- Lowered vehicles
- Autocross
- Canyon driving
- Drag racing
- Track-day builds
The firmer material helps maintain consistent suspension geometry during hard acceleration, braking, and cornering.
Installation
Replacing rear trailing arm bushings generally involves:
- Raise and safely support the vehicle.
- Remove the rear trailing arm.
- Press out the factory rubber bushings.
- Clean the mounting surfaces.
- Install the polyurethane bushings and steel sleeves.
- Reinstall the trailing arm and torque all hardware to factory specifications.
Because the original bushings are press-fit, installation typically requires a hydraulic press or specialized bushing removal tools.
Benefits After Installation
Installing polyurethane trailing arm bushings can provide:
- Sharper rear suspension response
- Reduced suspension flex
- Better handling
- Improved tire wear
- Longer service life
- More consistent alignment
Pros
- Durable Hyper-Flex® polyurethane construction
- Direct-fit replacement
- Bonded steel sleeves included
- Reduces wheel hop
- Improves handling and braking stability
- Longer-lasting than factory rubber
- Excellent resistance to oil, heat, and road contaminants
- Trusted Energy Suspension quality
Cons
- Requires pressing out factory bushings
- Firmer than OEM rubber
- May increase road vibration slightly
- Professional installation may be preferred without proper tools
Final Verdict
The Energy Suspension 16.7106G Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Set is one of the most effective suspension upgrades available for older Honda Civics, CRXs, Civic del Sols, and Acura Integras. Its Hyper-Flex® polyurethane construction delivers improved handling, reduced wheel hop, better alignment retention, and significantly longer service life than factory rubber bushings.
Whether you’re restoring a classic Honda, building a track car, or simply tightening up your daily driver, this kit provides excellent value and long-term reliability.
