Re: Installed new part today.....LOOK
This should be interesting.. I don't have a front sway bar (DX) and I'm getting the Progress rear bar, should have an assload of understeer
but I do have a Neuspeed upper strut bar.. that MAY help
And LT, I think every install has it's issue along the way, a lot of times you have to improvise to get it done, and it's NEVER as easy as you think it will be i've found out.

Yeah.. the important thing is to not get discouraged heh. I basically broke my intake boxes to get them off (didn't have the proper tools lol.)
I can't wait till I have to drill holes into the frame for this bar install.. I hope I don't screw it up

Travis, here's a way to improvise until you get your new endlinks. Its what I did after having the exact same problem (stuck nuts, and stripped allen holes). you've got.
1. Cut the nut off.
2. Hit the endlink (whichever side is giving you issues, top or bottom) with a blow torch for about a minute. This will make that mess on the floor I mentioned earlier.
3. Remove the endlink stud that should be all but falling out at this point.
4. Drill a 1/4" hole through the little housing - or whatever size hole you need for step 5.
5. Stick a bolt through and reconnect the endlink to your car.
6. Order new endlinks from www.hondaautomotiveparts.com
I drove like this for a month before my new endlinks arrived. I had to do both sides up front like this. And honestly, after I installed the new OEM endlinks. I ,did not notice any difference. Kind of makes you wonder. Anyway, hope that helps.
