Ok to drive with rear sway endlink broken?
while installing my rsx rear sway, and stripping that 5mm hex key bolt, I can still use the other endlink, my question is, untill I get it replaced, will it be ok to drive around with it being attached to only 1 endlink?
thanks
thanks

but say I use my car just for going from place to place with no hard cornering or driving in mind, Ill be ok hey? Also, is this a good opportunity to buy Greys endlinks, or should I just go to honda and get The oem one? Also, one last question, do I need to torque those endlink bolts or just as tight as I can go?
Thanks

It'll make noise, but you won't damage the car.
Theres no reason to buy anything more than the $13 Honda links with an RSX bar. There is a torque spec on the nuts, but with the allen key, you can't get a torque wrench on there. I just go until its tight. If you push too hard, you strip the allen key.
