I have a 2010 rdx sh-awd and I am looking for exact part numbers to purchase polyurethane sway bar bushings for front and rear as I already know it's 21 and 19 mm bars
Thank you,
ya, I was hoping that someone had already done the work , I didn't feel like crawling under the RDX, located in SEATTLE, and it's raining (:
But I guess I'll get off my a$$ and do the work, I'll report my findings (:

Something should be within grasp, they have the bush sizes, now it's just a matter of determining if any of the three 'bracket' sizes (yellow highlight) available would work?
Thank You !
For the record this is 2008 RDX w/ SH AWD , Tech edition.
I just measured my front sway bar with a dial caliper , the front 21.10mm , confirmed !
Note: The bushing location is such that a straight zerk fitting is not the greatest, I purchased a set of zerk's from Harbor Freight for about $8 , and has 90 degree zerk fittings, the zerks on the Prothane units came off pretty easy, I installed the 90 degree zerks facing to the sides for easy access from the fender well.

Next time you are under the car, take a few pictures since you are the 'trail blazer'.
I like the way you think , just like me , I snapped some yesterday. The sway bar bushing and mount are located inside the red.
As you can see it would be difficult to grease from the top , so here are 90 degree zerks I installed, just make sure to point them OUT .
Now that I've said that , watch me install them backwards the first time.
If it ever stops raining and snowing up here on Camano (about an hour north of Seattle, WA) I'll get them installed and let you know how they feel.
I did my 2003 RAM 3500 Cummins Longbed 2 weeks ago and that's why I had to put them on this !!!
OK well I'll update you guys when I get them installed
Well it quit raining up here in Pacific Northwest, I got them installed,
A couple of installation notes:
I was able to break them free with just a 3/8 ratchet
Use a ratchet with a flex or jointed head .... limited space ability to move handle up and down helps with length of stroke
Use a high tooth count ratchet , again limited arc angle , length of stroke
Special tools that help this installation easier below
Apply a generous amount of grease , the bushings have grooves to hold a little extra
We'll see how long before it starts squeaking
when installing have a long pry bar to manipulate the sway bar location , to raise just a hint to remove old bushing.
Also once new bushing is installed to move it around to find the mounting holes.
note the location of the bracket in the below photo, it is easier to locate the frame holes if the bracket is raised and not flat on the frame , ability to angle the bolts slightly to find the threaded holes.
Took her out for a test drive and was impressed , definitely flatter around the turns
