ATT EricL: remember my dissatisfaction with the sways. .
it probably is caused from. .
the dealer not installing the the front/driver side bracket holding the bushing! my bushing was hanging there like an oversized sock! you would figure the mechanics would know what the hell they were doing since it is a simple bolt on, but then again, it is my fault for not checking the work and expecting it done right.
such a difference in handling = a fresh breath of air.
on a lighter note i changed my oil and damn our car loves new oil.

And that's why when you put anything aftermarket on the car, you either do it yourself or obtain the services of a shop that specializes in the installation and servicing of aftermarket parts (aka import tuner).
(Frankly, I prefer the former.)

i'm an idiot. oh well live and learn. the only reason i chose the dealer is because it's pretty close to my house, and it's only a bolt on. guess they couldn't even do that. my other stuff has been installed at my friend's shop, SP Engineering.

Hey So Cal,
Don't beat yourself up ... I mean who would think the dealer's "factory trained" monkeys would screw up something as simple as sways? I would understand it if you asked them to convert your v-6 into a v-7 ...

SoCalTypeS, what dealer did you go to? Metro Acura?? I sure as hell hope not, I thought they'd actually know what they would be doin, well, when it comes to sways I'd think any of them would know what they were doin. The more I hear about dealers just checkin trouble codes and not checking out parts, and then not even installing aftermarket parts correctly (basic bozo stuff included like sways), the more I feel something needs to change in the way Car dealers do business, specifically under Honda/Acura and it should be enforced by them too. Something like a 5 star rating system....

Closest Acura dealer to me is 3.5hrs. Had my car delivered on a flat bed truck! Anyways, I am picky about who touches my car. Would rather have one of my mechanic friends do work that I can't handle. I'm sure many of you have horror stories of what dealers have done to your cars! I've heard of leaving oil out, putting in brakes wrong, on so on! Find a mechanic you can trust and deal directly with him or her. HeHe!
