Has anyone heard if there is a Service Bulletin out or soon to come out for broken rear stabilizer links? As some of you may know Honda issued one on 4/22/05 #05-021 for 1998-05 Accords and the TSX appears to share the same if not exact type parts. I've upgraded my RSB and thought I'd ask if anyone has heard anything at all. As mentioned here before the links themselves appear to be undersized and Honda has created a replacement link kit, P/N 06523-S84-A00, that includes two new larger (stouter) rear stabilizer links.

Any thoughts or rumors???

No TSX one yet, there are some other similar problems w/ the TSX that have TSBs for the Accord, but it looks like HOnda is always behind on the TSX ones

My guess is that Honda will usually put out the Honda TSB's first because there are more of them driving around then TSX's. So the Accord's are more of a priority... although i dont see why they coudln't put them out at the same time since they are literally the same parts.

I see no practical reason why, if applicable, they wouldn't issue them in a like timeframe. Perhaps it's a matter of poor inter-company communication or simple PR politics. Either or I'd for one would rather be told sooner versus later. Remember how long it took for them to acknowledge the windshield/A-pillar noise problem. Maybe a group "fire-under-the-butt" campaign is in order with respect to faster notifications.

Any thoughts???

How do you know when you have a broken rear stabilizer bar? How will the car handle differently?
