A problem about end bracket of rear swaybar

[Crapdaz]

Hi all,

I was about to install the whiteline rear sway and then noticed that the left rear side bracket had been snapped off with the existing sway still there being held on by the 2 bushings and the driver side bracket.

Do you guys know of how much it would cost to replace that left side arm bracket? or if there is a replacement to have the bracket stronger? PLEASE HELP. ='(

If you guys dont know what i am on about i will take a photo of what part i am talking about.

Thanks for your help.

If it's what i think it is you'll need to go to a place that can weld the bracket back onto the chassis.You'll need to go to someone that's a good welder and knows what he's doing.Also post up a pic and you'll get other opinions as well.

If your car is a 2006 and the suspension is not modified and the suspension has not been damaged e.g. speed hump, then I would think that this would be covered under warranty :).

He means the endlink. I'm surprised that it broke with the stock swaybar, but you can buy replacements from the dealer or make your own using a bracket and bolt.

if it's the endlink, go and get some decent ones.

it WILL increase NVH, but much more postive. no point having stiff sway abrs if your endlinks flex.

the setup is only as strong as the weakest link.

my car: has coils + sways. when i changed the endlinks. the first thought that went throught my head was: OMFG! why didn't i do this earlier???

was the damage caused by the stock sway bar? lol im a newb is there a stock sway bar?

Yes there is a rear sway bar.

Yeah read on acurazine/tsxclub can't remember which one that some of those guys have installed a moogs branded one which is 3 times as thick as the OEM.

yeh i am surprised that it broke as well cause the stock bar isnt really that thick to put too much stress, but then again anything can happen. stock endlink really does look very flimsy though.

I wish my car was that new, damn its almost 5years of age.

I usually host it on imageshack.us and put the full sized image link into an [img] tag. More reliable for me...

Thanks for the advice.

also called my local honda, they only have the stock OEM part (needed to be ordered) for just $110.23 only per side not incl install.

man get stuffed, will get stronger replacements from the US.
and its so painful listening to the clanging.

Everytime I put something new, new H1 4300k bulbs, new carpet, new mats or car perfume, I would go OMFG! why didn't i do this earlier too!!! :p

Now I have 3 layers or carpet + car mat

That's too pricey. You need some alternative source... or try giving Destrukshn a PM. :)

Installed my endlinks with the rear swaybar, was a pain in da ass trying to line up for the 2 centre brackets.

the one on the left side was easy but the one on the driver side middle was not as close to the bracket point.

Did any of you guys have the same problem? was the bar not as perfect as it could have been?

[bennjamin]

the reason is because the brand , whiteline is made overseas and has suffered in its presentation stakes. Probably still works just as well tho.

[aaronng]

Yeah, could be a quality variation issue. There was one bar that was running against the spare tyre well as well.

[Crapdaz]

okay, the bar fits fine now... but the thing is i am not sure which part the noise is coming from...

ISSUE: When i drive on a speed hump with both wheels there is no knocking noise, but when i go over the hump with the left wheel followed by rear there is a knocking and i will try the other side later...

Do you guys know which part i need to double check again?
i am thinking it may be the endlink to chassis bolt (the one holding the endlink to the body)

It's either the endlink to swaybar nut, or you didn't use enough grease on the bushing.

If you didn't touch the endlink to chassis bolt when you installed, don't touch it now.

i had to touch it as one side of my endlinks snapped and i replaced it.

Also i read on another forum that whilst driving due to the grease on the bushings (without lock kit) the bar can slide side to side which could be causing the knocking sounds?

If this is true then i will get some hose & hose clamps to stop the movement.

If you removed the original endlink, then yes, tighten it up again.

No, sliding from side to side won't cause noises. The bar catching on the bush and then sliding suddenly, that will cause noises.

[Crapdaz]

i'll recheck it again.

thanks aaron
