Default 4th Gen Lude suspension reassembly

I just have a couple quick questions (should be easy for some of you)

This first pic - what is this called? I am missing the bushings for it and need to order new ones, but dont know what to ask for.



This pic here is showing a (ball joint??) what is it called for sure? Why won't it fit back together tight? I was reassembling and it just spun inside the rubber boot thing. Now I cant get it tight. - same thing on other side.

sway bar endlink

stabilizer (sway bar) link per Helms

If they are frozen, you will likely need to replace the joint.

First one is a front swaybar endlink and the 2nd looks like maybe a tie-rod and but I can't tell where it is.....

No it is sitting in my Driveway right now. I am not working on it right now, I had to pull my other lude in the garage for a few days.

yeah ull have to replace the ball joint. The only way to get it back on is with an impact gun in small short bursts...This has happened on two rsx's ive worked on. But you might as well just replace it.

Get an allen wrench, stick it in the end of the bolt in the hole made for it. Then hold the allen wrench while you tighten the nut back up....
