front sway bar on a 99 civic ex
#3
well yeah im unsure lol.
Here's the deal. I got built a b18b and put it into a civic dx. at the same time, i added power steering, front swaybar setup consisting of the ex front arms and swaybar links. updraded to 11 inch rotors and itr calipers.
I am also using DA axles. They actually fit with a different driver side tranny seal. While putting the pasanger axles in i yanked on the knuckle while the axle was still in there and something came loose. I can hear liquid in the axle boot moving around so i managed to shove it back in. When I turn the knuckle by hand i can feel a little bit of binding.
So today i get under the car and notice my swaybar endlink busings are all loose.
The noise im hearing inside the cabin while driving sounds a little like rubbing/knocking and I can feel it in the steering wheel too. The tranny is a hydro gsr.
So i don't exactly know where to look. everything looks really tight except for those endlinks.

Sounds like maybe you should have it checked out, could possibly be something else loose, i dont beleive that a sway bar could cause that kind of vibration in the steering wheel unless it was incredibly loose. Maybe loose tie-rods or control arm bolts?

yeah i checked all of that and they seem to be ok. I checked all the baljoints too. none seem to be loose to the point where i can move it around.
One more thing i did notice was the steering endlinks where it attaches to the knuckle. it rocks and if i rock it enough i can hear "pinging." Is this normal?
And engine knock cant possibly be it right? I mean, if it were to knock that hard, the engine would be gone right?

so it sounds like your axle is not set right it happened to my car to all i did is just change the axle where the vibration was coming from.
