I wanted to 2 know if any '97 Accord owners have installed a(n) APR strut bar and if so could u post pics? Plus i recently bought a complete front and rear poly kit for my Accord. Does the poly kit make ur suspension squeak 1nce installed? thankx!

 

I don't know what the APR strut bar looks like but I can't assume it's any different than the rest out there.

the polyurethane bushing kit could make your suspension squeak if you don't lubricate them correctly. But AFAIK it shouldn't squeak if installed correctly.

 

thanx bro.

 

 

gud lookn on da pic sush, does it really fit '97 exl? the blue endz look like it wouldn't fit. The '97 ex bay has a(n) electrical box on the left & sum metal lines on the rite that seem to be n da way of the 3 bolts that hold the shock(s) nplace, like the endz of da strut bar would need 2 b flat. I LUV THIS STRUT BAR!!!! but bewildered @ da moment.

 

You are talking about the ABS fuse box and ABS brake lines. Not sure if it would have clearance issues or not. I never put a strut bar on my Accord.

Que?

 

Generic strut bars and cusco, tanabe or whatever other brand you could find, you will always be very close the fuse box and those 2 hoses small hoses over the driver's side strut tower.

 

sometimes you just need to remove the bolt to give it some give and then put the bar on then the bolt

 

I have been using poly bushings for at least 3 years through NE winters and they haven't given me any issues with squeaking. they are a PITA to install, and depending on what kit you purchased, you may need additional components to replace all your rubber bushings.

 

my front kit are the Energy Suspension Master set, rear: Uerthanane rear upper&lower set, plus i purchased xtra grease 4 da install (so everything is properly lubed 2 prevent squeakin'); so there could b more componets needed outside the polykits that i purchased? if so any idea whut they may b?

 

you'll probably want to measure the bushing size for the rear lower strut mounts, rear coil spring isolators, and rear ball joint boots, so everything is poly rather than having some rubber bushings left. While you're at it, you ay also want to change your rubber bushings in the upper strut mounts to poly. you can simply look for "universal" bushings from prothane or es that fit the dimensions.
