So I'm soon about to tackle a s**tload of mechanical 'rejuvenation' on my '02 EX 1.7 (ES2), I'm hoping I'm A. In the right place, B. Some of you may be more familiar with the suspension of the 7th gen (4-door, hopefully similar enough to the 2-door/EM).

The front, I can handle: ball joint in the knuckles, bushings clear-as-day in the LCA's. Now the rear...oh baby...

Chiefly, I'm wondering somebody may be able to point out what the names of the bushings I've encircled in chartreuse-y lime-green (if they are all indeed bushings), as I've only found (on RockAuto, PartsGeek, etc) the bushings for the rear UCA--doesn't seem the ES2 has a rear LCA(?) But what I assume is a drag link/trailing arm on the rear, the LCA-looking thing on the bottom, that connects to the rear knuckle, seems to have at least one forward bushing, and possibly a rear bushing on that rectangular connecting member. Am I missing anything here? (Appreciate any feedback, all you guys have been great in the past)

(Sidenote: if there's a better subforum/website to ask this, redirection would be greatly appreciated)

Welcome to the Rust Belt...I didn't know anything about buying a car when I bought it. Believe by it or not that muffler in the background is roughly 6 months old and "stainless"

Check energy suspensions website also for what bushings can be replaced. That link for the OEM parts will tell you what everything is.

The part in the first picture is the camber arm (UCA) and I am not sure if the bushings are replaceable. Other part is lower control arm which does have serviceable bushings.

I live in Mass where we salt heavily and my 8 year old stainless muffler looks nothing like that! It looks dirty but rust free...
