Front Stabilizer bar bushings

What would be the effect of front stabilizer brackets not tightned 100% or slightly worn stock rubber bushings?

This could be the answer to my problem.

What was your problem?



On other cars I have owned, worn SB bushings would squeak because they slipped on the bar. Also might get a subtle clunk when going over bumps.

Another source of suspension noise is the end-links, #8 in your picture. It is often very difficult to pinpoint. Common problem on Generation 1 CRVs (both front and rear).

Delrin bushings are far better than Poly, but may have to be ordered for the Fit.

As far as I know you have to replace the link with a new one and about the only way to mess one up is to not use an allen wrench to secure the center when removing the bolt.... About $50.00 for the whole link..... The rattling is nerve racking and it makes the front end feel lose and leans as bad on the side that is not damaged as on the side that is.
