the metal pieces that hold the sway bar to the LCA. it can rattle bad if theyre broken. these are moog parts, your oems will be smaller and different looking. but same idea.

my 03 civic was making a really bad clunking, rattling noise when i would coast but not when i was on the gas for some reason.
brought it in to get looked at and found out it was the sway bay links.
sounds like you're having the same problem as i was so these guys might be right.

yeah different name for the same part. check the rears too if you have a bar back there. if you have suspension upgrades (lowering springs), those factory links will keep snapping.

yeah each bar has two bushings and holders. if they are torn, you could get metal noises from the bar touching the holder.

i wonder if he just sprayed some silicone lube, in which case the noise will start coming back a few months later.
