Default Different Trailing Arms...

I am confronted with a delema... I pulled a set of trailing arms off an Integra and it turns out one of them is from a 90-93 Integra, the other is from a 94-00 Integra. From what I can tell the only difference is the rear trailing arm bushing size, one is larger then the other. I am still worried though that using two different trailing arms could be dangerous, or cause unwanted problems. The calipers, rotors, genearl size and shape are the same. The 90-93 trailing arm is a little wider where the trailing arm bushing fits into. Other then that they are the same. How bad would it be to use this setup?

Most suspension components carried over from the second to third gen. Integra. You should be fine.

if the larger bushing is only on the strut mounting location then as long as you got some aftermarket struts if they fit over the bushings then i wouldnt worry about it....just be sure to use some washers to compensate for the smaller bushings...

i know on my 99civic the rear LCAs have a smaller bushing than on my 94civic, but the struts i had for it where universal between 92-00civics that just used two thick washers between the strut and bushing on each side. worked great.
