New Sway Bar Bushing from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASMX00520
The sway bars on your vehicle connect the shocks or struts together for additional stability. Since they have to cross the underside of the vehicle, they are attached at several points along the way. The bushings cushion and dampen those attachments to reduce noise and wear. Over time rubber bushings crack and rot, which could lead to clunking or scraping at the sway bar attaching points. This video shows you how to install new sway bar bushings on your 2004-2008 Acura TL.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2004 Acura TL
2005 Acura TL
2006 Acura TL
2007 Acura TL
2008 Acura TL

Very good video on the procedure. It's slightly more difficult doing it without a lift. The 2003-2007 Honda Accord is pretty much identical. I did a 2005 4 cylinder. There are no lower shields to remove, and the front most shield has cutouts to let you get at the front subframe bolts. I didn't take off the sway bar end link as the bushing slides off easily with it in. The time consuming part is the rear bolt of the sway bar bushing. I had to pry down with a fair bit of force to create enough room to get a socket in there, and that was using a 1/4 inch rachet and low profile socket. It's very tight so ratcheting was a couple clicks at a time, which means prying hard for a long time with one arm. If you can get a helper to hold the pry bar it's around 20 minutes a side. Subframe lowering and raising takes only a few minutes.

Looks like a bit of a pain just for sway bar bushings.

What a PITA just for a bushing. Thank you for the video. Guessing 09 is very similar.

What in the world did you do all this for all you can easily remove the bushing bolts with a swivel ratchet like I did sometimes you KZfaqrs just make the job more complicated 🤦‍♂️

Nice video, the only one available for this generation of TL. I really don't want to do this, but my bushings are rotten 😒

That's a middle subframe mount. You can get them at 1A Auto or other online retailers. 1A made a video about how to replace them. Note that the right and left ones are different. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ft2ChLiTyN_If4U.html
