I'll find out in half an hour whether the lube is the cause . The previous lubricant looked like it disappeared immediately after application, so I suspect it's not the right one to use.

 

Would you guys trust a dealer with this install? I have the Comptech Rear Sway Bar, the ES bushings, and that same lube JTso referred to. I had originally planned on doing this myself but I'm not mechanically inclined what so ever

They quoted me a price I'm ok with, and theyre going to do it on my new 06

Just that seeing as how I live in Idaho, where I have only seen only a few TSX's out here, I'm a little bit paraniod they might not have any clue what to do. Or at least be knowledgable enough to do all the things you guys have done to insure a good install. Such as using the lube etc or whatever. I'm going to give em all my parts and try to explain to them the best I can what I'm hoping to get done.

 

Alright, took me longer than I expected, but the lithium grease did the job. It would be extremely frustrating to go through all that and still hear noise.

Yadfgp, if you have the time, I would encourage you to install it on your own. If you can get a friend to help, then even better! I would say it's a simple install with the guidance of Joerocket's tutorial and advice from the other helpful owners.

That being said, I'm pretty sure the dealership can install it with ease, but if you want to make sure it's done correctly or learn the process first hand, install it yourself. HTH, good luck!

 

Hey White Fungus, glad to hear your problem has been solved! I think it might be kind of fun to install the bar on my own. But I've always had this fear since I was a kid about installing stuff like this. I'd be paranoid back then any time I changed a part on my bike or skate board. Such as a wheel or whatever, about it falling off somehow at the worst possible time... So with a car it'd be alot worse. I don't think I'd feel comfortable at all driving around like that if I did the installation.

 

The Comptech rear Sway bar is 22mm in diameter, and Energy Suspension makes 2 sets of 22mm bushings.

ENS-9-5158R

and

ENS-9-5126G

They are both 22mm bushings, however the bracket specs seems to differ a bit. Which one will fit the Comptech sway AND the TSX?

ENS-9-5158R seems to have a little hole that lets you apply grease without having to remove the entire bar.

Help me out here guys.

 

Tha mount of trouble you guys have with sway bars baffles me.....


But FYI I do sell these too:

Marcus, how do those differ from the ones Dan purchased for $40?

Also, Marcus, you wouldn't happen to be able to get the brackets only for a Comptch rear sway could you?

 

As per my earlier post, you want the ENS-9-5126G. The grease nipple on the 5158R would be nice, but you need to modify the brackets to get it to fit. Nothing a dremel couldn't fix.

 

How do they differ? Different color and package? I use the prothanes all the time. They work great on 22mm bars on all the other hondas.

Just the D-brackets from Comptech, eh? I dunno, maybe. Want me to call?
