Default I'm having trouble installing my swaybar. I'm using moog stabilizer bar links

I thought it went:
Nut
swaybar
bushing
washer
linkage
washer
bushing
LCA
bushing
washer
nut

BUT! there's not enough bushings for dat! Each linkage has three washers and two bushings. How the **** do I put this together?!

30 second search reveals....

The upper endlink is found on Civic sway bars and the lower endlink is found on GSRs/ITRs.

Besides that you've got that upside-down, its obviously wrong in that it would have the washer placed against the LCA. It appers they simply put the bushin/washer back on combo upside down after disconnecting it from the LCA.

The difference between that one and what I've got is that I have one more washer.

Does anyone think i'll have a problem throwing the third washer in a spare fasteners bucket?

Thanks

You only need two washers. I'm surprised they didn't give you enough of the thin washers since those more closely resemble the OEM hardware but it's no bother if the thicker ones work.

The bushings should have the smaller diameter (the necked down portion) inserted into the hole of the LCA then sandwiched by the washers on the outside acting as the buns of the hamburger. The other end of the endlink that secures to the Swaybar is held by just the one flange nut.

I'd take a picture if I could but I just put the car down recently and have been driving it after 6 months on the stands. Not about to put it back up.

It's the inverse, the bottom is for GS-R/ITR and the top is for the 21mm and 22mm front bars on Integra LS's and Civic's.
