Rep Power: 296 took me like 2 hours..
i was using the civic stock jack and the stock jack from my moms Navigator to jack it up...took forever just jacking it up cuz i had to use a screwdriver to turn the jack lol
also i didn't have a hex key set so i had to wait for a buddy to bring a set so i could undo the bolts on the endlinks. i thought those were kinda a b!tch to get off!
what happens if you don't grease the bushings? cuz i didn't.. haha

Spray the endlinks with alot of WD. I ended up stripping one of mine and had to buy a new one.
If you don't grease the bushings sometimes they make some noise. I didn't grease mine and they haven't made a sound but it's up to you.

Rep Power: 304 the endlinks shouldnt squeak if they arent polyurethane.
just make sure you install the sway bar right side up. lots of people have installed the rear sway upside down and complained about it making noises.

yeah, endlinks can be a bitch to get off. I couldn't get them off w/ my two wrenches/pliers and it was getting dark, so i took it some Tire place and the guy did it for me for free.

Rep Power: 301 like everyone said,,,endlinks are freaking hard to get'em off, make sure to spray a lot of WD over and over every 2minutes or so. work would be a lot easier. and if you're car is dropped, for your safety, use jackstands

whoa whoa wtf ?? did they upgrade the itr bar from 22 - 24 ?? oem bar for both type s and base model is 19mm the DC5 bar is 22mm
Might want to check out this thread. Either you have a 19mm from a 20004 RSX, or you have a 21mm from an 05 RSX or a 22mm from a DC5R.

I don't know why everyone seems to have had a hard time with taking off endlinks because it is so easy.
