I know someone that can fix it but that person told me to get the parts.. Which parts shall i buy .. i don;t mean part number but what are the names>shall i buy a whole new stabilizer bar or only some parts of it.. Please help if possible ...

There are many, many jobbers in the UK that will supply you with these parts. The "person" that told you to go get your own parts sounds like he's copping out, making you do his work for him. Is this a neighbor? If he is telling you to go buy stuff, then he should be able to tell you what it is you should be buying. Your own telephone directory should lead you to a very many sources for spares. This link should direct you to some more: <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=auto+spares+uk&btnG=Search> But first I'd suggest you get a second opinion. Honda stabilizer bar links are NOT secured by ball joints!

Around about 2001, after the shift to Macpherson struts, Honda began using Toyota-style balljoints on their stabilizer bars.

Yours in fact does have balljoint-type stabilizer bar links, even though it has the earlier-style front suspension (no struts). If those balljoints were worn, you should hear a knocking noise over bumps. SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
