av90 im not 100% sure on the part numbers from the site cause for pillar garnish theres 2 rubber seals one inside the door that holds the window and the other is around the rim of the door so it doesnt get water inside your car.

Sigh

Got an issue with the ep - thought it was a bad swaybar endlink.....replaced both sides today with brand new oem parts. Still does it....

Steering or suspension makes a clunk at different situations. Either sharp turning while stationary , felt thru the floor when hitting bumps and also the clunk is heard in the rhs suspension when turning and hitting a bump.
I believe this issue is directly related to a big pothole hit while in qld a month ago.

Everything is tight - only noticeable thing is that the spring (stock) can be slightly moved in it's perch. shouldn't be able to in my past experiences !

Any thoughts ?

I had a similar issue long time ago. End up being 1 quarter of a turn on a control arm bolt. When I can get to my car ill take a pic n show u the exact bolt

funny that.. my rear drivers side swaybar endlink.. one of the bolts somehow went missing, now the braket kinda just hangs there =/ makes a popping sound when there's more pressure towards the rear drivers side wheel (is. when i go up a drive way or a speed bump) it's only been like that for a day or two.. at first i thought i popped my tyre, lucky i went to get that checked cos there was a nail in my rear drivers side tyre.. but yeah, is it safe to be driving around with the rear sway like that?

I broke something at the Drags last night

Can't work out what though

Crazy vibrations going down the gears but only sometimes

**bennjamin** · 17-02-2011 12:54 PM

gosh luke. Smashed something but did u smash times ?
You might of ripped a mount or lower control arm bush....

BTW RE my problem - fixed the issue guys of the clunking.....was both RHS lower control arm bolts were loose ( considerably ) . tightened to about 100nm ( 98nm honda spec) and all good.
