Hey fam,

Have an Accord 50k mi…-so there’s knocking that occurs when turning/going over bumps. It’s more prominent on the left side but if the right pops hard enough it seems to happen over there too. I’m thinking it’s the sway-bar stabilizer bushings. Pried up on the bar using control arm as leverage and got a liiiiitle bit of movement. The Sway Links seem to be able to, relatively speaking, easily swivel,
but don’t seem to have any free play.

The problem I’m running into searching for replacement stabilizer bar bushings is that they don’t seem to exist online 3rd party or OEM. OEM sites identify the part in exploded assembly diagram, but it’s mysteriously absent from the order list below.

RockAuto doesn’t have it.

The only thing I can find is a questionable $68 Chinese product on Amazon of which I have my doubts.

If anyone knows if there’s any known culprits among this model for front end knocking I’m all ears.

Thanks for the read o7
