Civic Wagon: Subaru Crosstrek bushing swap to CRV for rear suspension hijinks

An update to my previous video with some footage of the actual work. The gist of it is I'm swapping a CRV rear subframe into my 90 Civic Wagon. The rear struts on CRV are different than most other hondas of that vintage. Pin mount instead of clevis.

So finding a strut with similar lengths to the Civic Wagon rear strut, but with a pin lower mount instead of clevis. That happened to be Subaru Crosstrek. The only snag is the bushing on the crosstrek is slightly wider and has a 12mm inner sleeve. CRV is 10mm so I needed to press the old bushing out, and a new one in, which as the outer sleeve was slightly larger OD it required some work to get it in there.

Enjoy!
