Need help finding new sway bar bushings and brackets for rsx rear sway bar?
 

Ok, I talked with grey and he said I am going to need to get new sway bar bushings and brackets for the rsx rear sway bar. Well he said to go to jegs.com, but I cant find anything on there. Does anyone know if I need the parts made for the rsx or parts made for the 2k1 civic? Also if you have a link to either parts or both, please help me out, thanks.

You can just get the universal 19mm bushing from energy suspension (part #9.5156).

:sweet:

Was it you that had a problem with hondaautomotiveparts.com (Majestic Honda)?
Well, you can get those are acura car land.... basically just like Majestic, but Acura.

AutoZone carries Energy Suspension. I found mine right on the shelf and was amazed!

Brackets are the same, you just need bushings if you have an EX/02+ LX.

Bushings can be had from any Acura dealership for less than $20 for both.

Bah, ES is cheaper and better

So which part number do I need there then?

355-9-5156G 3/4'' $13.99
355-9-5156R 3/4'' $13.99

Get the G because it is black. Black ones are better than the Red ones.

Jegs also charges you a handling fee, so they're closer to $20 shipped.

FYI, I got those ES bushings from JEGS as well, they're good. Quicker response, and slightly rougher ride quality. BUT, they are thicker and pushed the bar out and into my exhaust, rattle rattle. I could have moved the exhaust or wrapped the bar, but bah I'll probably sell the car next year anyways, so I just sold them.

So I dont need both then, just 355-9-5156g?

It comes with a set of 2. R is red, G is black. You can call jegs or ES and ask them, but my box came with two bushings. 3/4" = 19mm. Well actually 19mm = .748" but close enough. Just get 1 set.

Cool, I appreciate it.

it's not just color. One is Greasable one is not. I believe Red is greasable. Read the package. I don't know why you would pay shipping when you can get them at AutoZone but, oh'well.

I have never seen energy suspension bushings at autozone.

so I dont need much more than the rsx bar and the ES bushings then correct? And the brackets on my car I can just reuse.

Straight from ES's website:

Color Code for sway bar bushing sets, add: G- black, R- red.
Example- #9.5151R = red

And I also have never seen ES bushings at Autozone.

Yes, if you have a rear sway bar already, the brackets should work.

cool, thanks.

sorry to bring back an old thread, but i don't want to start a new one..

it's Illust #6 for the 19mm bushings right? Part #35948 from Acura?

yes #6 and whatever the corresponding numbers are. You might think about getting some poly ones. They are about the same price and better.

will i notice a significantly harsher ride (i'm already on hayames) on poly compared to oem?

no. it is just a sway bar bushing, it has very little to do with ride quality. It is just reduces movement of the sway bar that rubber bushings usually allow.

YES. You will notice a slight difference in ride quality, I noticed the difference the most when going over uneven pavement (construction areas). There is so much construction work on my daily commute that I finally just sold all my poly bushings and the ride is not as harsh. I miss the quicker response though.
