This depends on each vehicles suspension setup. If the vehicle is excessively stiff, more force is translated into the bushings and the chassis before the suspension moves. This causes faster wear. Conversely, softer suspension will exert less force against the bushing and wear it less. Other things to factor in are conditions of other suspension bushings which, if bad, can cause excess wear on other bushings due to poor suspension geometry. Exact length is not easy to determine, though these are much more resilient than OEM when installed on a performance application.
You don't need a press for these bushings. They go in and out easily enough. Just need to barely tap it with the appropriate sized sockets. I just did mine today and they were extremely easy to install.
is the actual metal sleeve replaceable and if so do I just call skunk 2 about ordering 6 of them all mine are rusted and seized to the bolts due to previous owner not using anti seize
It depends on a few factors such at suspension type, spring rates, rear sway bar size and even driving style. It is all based off preference. We can not say hole number 1,2, or 3, is better, it is up to you to fine tune the vehicle to your liking.
@gasper44, genuine Skunk2 bushings can be identified by their five grooves placed alongside the inner diameter. Most clone LCAs include cheaper bushings that feature eight grooves and that copied Skunk2's original, older bushing design. You can see pictures of our updated LCA bushings by searching "LCA Bushings" on our website.

How long do they last for a daily car?

Are these the same for 8th gen civic si ?!
THE LOWER CONTROL ARM USE THE SAME BUSHING OF THE CAMBER KIT ??
sledge hammer = press
sockets = proper bushing press tools
you guys do quality work.....

Hello what size sockets did you use for this job ?thanks
you make it look so easy man
How do you know if you have the older, or newer bushing design?
I have some old blox lcas, can I use these bushings on the blox lcas?
is this how you do it on the rear camber kit as well?
are bushings different for each car? I have a 91 integra and I need new bushings
would a bad bushing make a knocking noise when going thru bumps or even just pushing the car up and down.??
Yes it will, I'm having same noise , and bushing are the cause
How about replacing poly bushings from the anchors in your pro-plus front upper control arm?
will ENERGY SUSPENSION bushings work on Skunk2 LCAs?
I'd like to know the same thing
is the actual metal sleeve replaceable and if so do I just call skunk 2 about ordering 6 of them all mine are rusted and seized to the bolts due to previous owner not using anti seize
hello , bushings are making annoying noise in my civic ..any ideas ?

how and where do i order new bushings from?
Mmm. I love me some new bushings.
They are available on the Skunk2 Online Store. We are not allowed to post links in comments so you'll have to search of them on our site.

Skunk2 LCA bushings do not vary between applications, however we do offer two color options (Black and Red).
