I need to replace my rear axle bushing on my 07 Fit. It feels like the back of the car is on casters, it's horrible. I've looked online and all I can find is bushing for 09+ Fits. I'm wondering if those will fit in my 07. I know I can buy the whole axle beam for something like $1000 but I don't have that kind of money. If anyone's knows if that would work please lmk.

edit* I jacked up my car yesterday to take a closer look at the rear axle bushings. They're a little bit dry looking. But appear to be in one piece. So after doing more research people are saying bad shocks can cause what I'm experiencing. So I'm gonna replace both rear shocks and I'll update again.

To go into more detail about the problem I'm experiencing. The back of the car feels like it kicks out when I go over a bump while cornering. When I'm driving on the highway (100+I'm/h) it feels like the car gets tossed around by wind or a semi driving by me.

 

Do you mean these bushings between #11 and 12 washer thingies?



I don't know if 09+ have a different design, but from this diagram it seems like they might not be intended to be replacable at all, which is pretty dumb

 

yup those are the bushing I'm referring to. I actually managed to find a set by hardrace pn(6848). They're still kinda pricey $215 Canadian including taxes and shipping. Still a whole lot better than buying the whole axle beam thingy from Honda tho.

incase anyone else is looking for the bushings here's the link.

I don't see why they wouldn't be replaceable, but you'll have to drop the rear beam axle to access them and might have some difficulty pressing the old ones out and the new ones in depending on what sort of tools you have.

 

@mobby_6kl Good diagram, Mobby. Thanks.

@Gd3jordan Let us know how how it goes, Jordan.

 

will do, I hate when people post a problem then disappear without saying what solved it.

 

Update for anyone who has this issue. I've replaced both front and rear shocks. Rear shocks made the most difference, front made the car just ride better. There is still a bit of a kicking out to the side feeling when I hit a bump while cornering, it's not nearly as bad tho and is bearable now. I think if I wanted to get rid of it completely I'd have to get upgraded rear axle bushings too.
