Can anyone supply pics of the rear lower arm where the endlink is?

I need pics of an EX, 2002 LX. I have a 2001 LX and I have to fabricate the stupid metal projection that the endlinks for the sway bar attach to. You guys have it already molded into the arm. I would like as many angles and clear closups of the metal projectionas you guys an give. If all goes well, I'll post the DIY for 2001 DX/LX and 2002 DX for the RSX sway bar installation. Thanks.

The only thing I worry about is having to weld onto the factory trailing arm. For sure you will have to remove it, and then weld the tab in, and reinstall it. Plus with the tank right there on the left side, it may be an issue.

Me, I bought an EX, but I would seriously consider just buying the EX rear arms. The arms new would set you back 300, but maybe searching at a honda wrecking yard, you could easily find them, just a thought. Unless you have access to a good welder you are hacking on something that supports your car. I am not saying to not try it, just be sure of your willingness to do it correctly. The best is that the sway bar would come off and the car would lose control. The worst, a bad weld job cracks the rear arm and you fly off a cliff. Neither is a good bet. At least if you have the stock arms you would not have to worry.

Perfect. Machining that little metal piece and welding it in seems to be a simple job. Thanks for the pix.
