Energy Suspension 16.3116G Hyper-Flex Front Control Arm Bushings Civic RSX Black

Vehicle Fitment

• 2001-2005 Honda Civic (All Trims - DX, EX, HX, LX, Si, Value Package, 1.7L)
• 2002-2006 Acura RSX (Base & Type-S)

Fitment Notes

• Unlike the 16.3114G kit for the 1996-2000 EK Civic, this kit is confirmed to fit the Honda Civic Si - the EP3/EP chassis Si uses the same lower control arm bushing geometry as other 7th-gen Civic trims.
• Fits into the remaining stock control arm outer metal shells - the factory outer shells are reused; no new shells are included.
• This kit covers front lower control arm bushings only (compliance and inner arm bushings). Shock mount bushings at the top and bottom of the front strut assembly are not included - see Energy Suspension part 16.8102 for those.
• A slight increase in NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) over OE rubber is normal and expected with performance polyurethane.

Features

• Hyper-Flex performance polyurethane - firmer than OE rubber, delivering sharper steering response, improved alignment retention, and reduced wheel hop under acceleration.
• Full floating, non-binding design allows smooth suspension articulation without the twist-and-bind effect that rigid pressed-in bushings can cause.
• Chemically resistant to oil, smog, road salt, and automotive fluids - will not soften, compress, or distort the way rubber does over time.
• Maintains proper front suspension geometry under extreme street, track, and competition conditions.
• Precision-manufactured to exact vehicle specifications for direct fitment with no modification to the stock control arms.
• Backed by Energy Suspension's 7-year / 750,000-mile limited warranty.

Product Description

The Energy Suspension 16.3116G is a front lower control arm bushing kit engineered for the 7th-generation Honda Civic (2001-2005, all trims including Si) and Acura RSX (2002-2006, Base and Type-S). Replacing both the compliance and inner arm bushings at the front lower control arms on both sides, this kit delivers immediate improvements in steering precision, corner-entry response, and alignment consistency under hard driving. The Hyper-Flex polyurethane construction is significantly firmer than the factory rubber units, resisting the progressive sag and deformation that leads to vague handling and premature alignment wear on high-mileage chassis.

The full floating, non-binding design ensures smooth suspension travel without the harshness associated with solid-mounted or overly stiff bushings. Installation reuses the factory outer metal shells, making this a practical upgrade for experienced DIYers with a bushing press or a shop press setup. Note that this kit covers the lower control arm positions only - front strut top and bottom shock mount bushings require a separate purchase (Energy Suspension part 16.8102). Backed by the industry-leading 7-year / 750,000-mile Energy Suspension warranty.
