Hello
Wanted to see if anyone has or had been successful in using part# 52395-S5A-004 to replace the rear upper knuckle bushing on a 3rd gen CR-V? This part number is for the 2nd gen CR-V and Element's.
I came across the following post to which the OP was looking for the same information and contains helpful photos identifying the issue plus location of the bushing:
"Looking for Rear Control arm bushings, can't find them anywhere!"
Looking at measurements, the bushing appears to be about 4.9cm long or 1.93 inches and the diameter appears to be about 4.1cm or 1.63 inches. Finding 1 measurement online for part# 52395-S5A-004, the full length of the bushing seems to match up, but not sure about the diameter.
I know for the 3rd gen CR-V's Honda does not sell a replacement bushing, instead they sell the entire knuckle. If possible, I'd rather replace the bushing rather than go through the process of removing seized bolts, a rusted CV axle, stuck bearing, etc. which will end up being more costly and laborious. At the moment for me, the control arm bolt is seized to this rear upper knuckle bushing and I'd like to install adjustable rear control arms.
If the Honda part does not work, is there an aftermarket equivalent that people have had success with?
