I believe thats the link arm to the front sway bar, if it is you need to replace that very soon, it will effect your handling, especailly if you need to turn quickly to avoid a accident. It should be covered under warrenty.

I hit a curb when it was really icey outside becasue my car slid into it and it broke the link that your talking about and a bunch of other stuff... the link is pretty cheap but the labor might cost you alittle bit more unless you do it yourself.

ak can only hope to improve
how on earth did you break that??

That looks like the rear endlink right?
You can buy replacement endlinks from honda for $180/pair, but it should be covered under warranty.

If i were you, i'd actually remove the sway bar for now because it's putting too much stress on the other endlink.. it might damage it you know?

damn, that's the first time i see a broken endlink with our stock anti-sway bar.

ummm...i think it broke because of the weight of my trunk...it's pretty damn heavy. i think im just gonna drive around without a sway bar because i haven't felt any difference at all or else i woulda found the problem a long time ago. but if i do decide to replace it..i'll probably just get an aftermarket one..like progress or something

Man, and I've got rsx 19mm sway bar upgrade. I gotta check up on my endlinks. If they break under stock, dunno what's gonna happen later.

Daayum.. 700 pounds in the trunk? Thats crazy! The load capacity for our cars is something like 850 pounds I think. Maybe you need airbags hehe
