it effects my cornering...

mine are torn to ****!

but like you said it will be like $300 to get them installed because i think they have to machine pressed in when installed.

hmm do you think hard cornering caused them to tear?

im slammed like 4 inches,

the control arms are at a funny angle,

I think because of the height of the car and then the aggressive driving kills the bushing

neuspeed makes some sway bushings, i wonder if they have anything else...

I didnt see the part number on ES's website for the complete kit.

I'd imagine it would cost several hundred dollars to get the entire kit installed. What a PITA

for the front OEM sway bar?

EX and LX have differnt size bars dont they?

Check axles yet? I had both of mine go out on me.....same thing..........it will be apparent with acceleration....cold should have an effect on it aswell. Axle joints usually stop vibrating when warm. I've seen one car the inner joints were so rusty they caused a vibration......it was a CRV

they seem fine, and it vibrates in warm and cold weather.

The bushing you guys are talking about is called a "Compliance" bushing by Honda. These are just wear and tear type deals. Every 7thgen is plagued by it. Every one I see has this problem so its common. Just check on them every so often. They start off by cracking a bit.

Also, it wouldnt hurt for you to still check out your engine mounts. At 80,000KM (50,000miles?) I did my engine swap and the front mount on my D17 was torn. I also did another swap on my buddy's civic and same thing. The front motor mounts go often on these cars as well.

is there any aftermarket that wont break as easily? shop says on these cars they barely last 70k.

 
Rep Power: 263

He's correct....I do a **** load of compliance bushings on the control arms. I just have never see one vibrate.....they just cause alot of noise

 
Rep Power: 812

well, i cant afford it now anyway so oh well. im sick of spending money to fix crap that shouldnt be breaking in the first place.

i didnt read the entire thread, but may i suggest that worn-out CV joints could be a possibility.

 
Rep Power: 812

yup i heard that too thanks. could be, cause sometimes when i make a turn and get going again, the vibration stops. and then comes back again later lol. my car feels so old.
