Anybody installed the ST front sway for a 90-97 accord. the holes don't seem to want to line up on my CB7. From what I understand this will cause the bushings to wear out fast. also the end of the bar seems to come way to close to the damper fork. Has anyone put this on their accord before, and how hard was it to get on. I also understand you need to load the suspension to get it to fit. even so the holes don't seem to line up.

any help would be great. I hope I attached these photos right

 

Hasn't anybody put an ST front sway bar on an accord?

 

i didn't do mine personally, i had it installed at a shop. a friend of mine also had his done at a shop. at a shop the cars were put on a lift. from looking at the pics you provided, all i can think of at this point is that the car is not being lifted enough, or not being lifted on both sides at the same time.

 

They loaded the suspension until the upper control arm was hitting the fender. Still no dice. It looks as if the bar is like 3/4" too long on both sides. Weird.

i think that's only for the rear...

 

What i think u have to do is put some pressure on the sway and make it fit... because when i changed mine this problem occured... i used the coil spring to compress it , maybe u can loose out the nut in side and put some pressure into it..

Of course.
Thats where they would go if the holes lined up allowing the bolt through.

 

This is the bar fitted on my Accord.

 

Thanks man.
It looks like your bar lines up enough to get the bolt through. Was it hard to do? Yours is a 5th gen and mines a 4th. I know that it's supposed to fit both. My bar still looks too long conpaired to where yours ends. as mine is hitting against the damper fork, and yours looks like it has some clearence.

Whoops not a 5th gen, Euro Accord.
Hmmm.... Not sure what to make of that.

My Accord is the European 5th gen Accord, different body, but same chasis.
My ST bars are for the 5th gen USA Accord.
They fitted almost perfectly. The center curve of the front bar sometimes rubs against the boody.
