CRX MASE

I need to replace the bushings on my front sway bar. Does anyone know what size the ef8 front sway bar is?

Tyson

im pretty sure its 19mm, solid. you are talking about the UK/JDM SiR with B16 right? with balljoint endlinks.

CRX MASE

yes, thanks, ive been searching for it with no luck.

Tyson

btw, whats the code printed in the middle of the swaybar? it should also be embossed on the side of the bushings.

can you get a caliper and verify its diameter since you have it in your hands?

CRX MASE

Not sure, ill have to look next time i have the car in the air.

Tyson

you can also ask the uk crx forum.

The bushing has a letter F on it. Also i can grab the sway bar and move it 1/2 to 3/4's of an inch, is that normal? Im having issue's with my shift linkage rubbing the sway bar and making it hard to shift.

Tyson

No, its not normal to move a swaybar.... At all.

What's the deal with your car? Did you add all the front end parts from a SiR on to a US spec crx?

Thanks for the F info, good to know. looks like it IS 19mm. shares the same bushing as the sedans which i know is 19mm, but they are NOT the same swaybar.... the ends are completely different.

US crx converted to rhd with all SiR parts. Im guessing bushings are the cause of the movement. I dont think the end links are bad, Just the bushings that mount to the subframe. I know the endlinks are the same as 88 acura legends.

Tyson, I assume you mean the US Civic sedan 19mm front sway bar and the CRX SiR front sway bar ends are different?

The 19mm Civic Sedan front sway bar will still fit on a US CRX, though, correct?

Tyson

sedan fits fine.
