i found a way to fix trailing arm bushings incase yours are torn/broken.. you can do this as long as the bushing is still connected to the trailing arm.. basically you'll be making your own solid mounts.. what you do is..
1) buy some silicon caulking [target ..$2]
2) clean the bushings w/soup and water
3) fill in the bushings solid with silicon caulk
3.5) make sure you fill both sides
4) wait 5-7 days for the caulk to dry
best to do this with the trailing arms off the car.. unless you won't be driving your ride for about a week..
if you bought a rear disc swap with broken bushings.. this will fix it without having to torch off the old ones and replace them with new bushings.. and the cost is like less than 5 bucks.. i did it on my rear disc swap.. only difference is the bushings will be solid.. which makes the ride a LITTLE stiffer.. not much.. my car still rides fine.. $5 is better than $285 a piece for new trailing arms at Acura/Honda dealerships..
