I know it's not "engine" but I'm pretty sure the brightest minds hang in here.
Anyway, the 89 civic has a few shot bushings, a couple that are just floating around. So I think I can handle replacing them (the work anyway) the question is what type/brand/etc of bushings should I get?
Stock Honda rubbers? Some after market rubbers? or Poly bushings? Any brands to stay away from?

I guess that pretty much covers it. Thanks for your comments.

 

Look into Energy Suspension or Prothane poly bushing kits. They should make a complete master set(pretty much every bushing on the car) for your car which should run like $130 or so. As for the labor, I think you can pretty much hack out the old rubber bushings with a hacksaw, but I think you need a hydraulic press to get the new bushings in.

 

I agree, but I would suggest using a manual press over an automatic. You need to feel the new bushing going in correctly, and the automatics don't allow you to do that.
