All your videos are simple and straight forward which I love. I just wish I had access to a quarter of the tools and space to do any of this stuff myself.

2 comments. Need (easier) to use a ratchet wrench for removing the nuts. You didn't torque the nuts for the Front Sway Bar TOP nut is 28 Foot lbs. BOTTOM nut is 25 Foot lbs. as per the Honda Service / Repair manual.

I bought new links for all 4 wheels on my Acura TL and I can't wait to change them to get rid of the rattling noise! Does anyone know why Honda sway bar links make so much noise even if they appear to be alright?

@FleetTech97 3 жыл бұрын

Make sure when checking them that both front wheels are off ground. Because if you just jack up one side the link Is under tension and won’t make noise

Sometimes the nuts are only loose need only to tighten them.

Take this from someone who has screwed around with those Allen keys; don’t even bother. Just take a grinder and cut the bolt out on the side of the rubber boot on the link.

Hi, if anyone has an answer to my question please welcome! I just removed the link it from my civic then I realized the new one are slightly different in a way that it doesn't do a 90 degrees, it's slightly leaning. These are the original ones tho! Does anyone have an explanation?

The rubber bushings get bad after a while and become loose causing a knocking sound while driving, not a major safety issue but it could affect the handling of the vehicle

How can you tighten it without a torque wrench ? what do you mean nice and snug ?

@FlameHazeist 5 жыл бұрын

It means don't overtighten (apply excessive force for a socket of that size) or undertighten (apply too little force). When in doubt, tighten a nut first, then put on a second nut and use a torque wrench to get the feel for it.
