Default Uh, this is bad right?

Can anyone tell me what this is and what size nut I need to correct this problem? Or anything else I have to do. I know that it is a suspension or steering item but I can't find it in the components section of the helms manual.

Thanks guys. What pieces ARE missing? Looking at the one on the other side, it appears to be missing only a nut. I think maybe the rubber sleeve has to be forced back through the whole, maybe?

The whole thing can be replaced with an Energy Suspension endlink kit for pretty cheap. Check with autozone.

Good deal, I'm gonna go get one tonight. The ones listed on autozone.com don't show that they include the through bolt. So I should just need the kit and a nut and I set, right?

Thanks

Its in the suspension section, but its pretty hard to spot,look in the front suspension "exploded view" look for the "stabilizer bar"

Am I going to need anything special to install these? Anything other than a floor jack, stands, and a socket set?

nope, all you need is a 12mm for the bushings in the middle ( if you plan on removing it for now) and a 14mm deep socket for the endlinks.

and for the time being you could just remove it until you get the new end links

Thanks a lot man, I've got them now. I'll put them on in the rise. But I have to remove the bar to install them?

if you decide to get the energy kit i suggest you put the front on jackstands so the springs are as decompressed as they get without taking them out and change the whole thing the bushings AND sleeve in the middle you'll need a fairly big pry bar to the the old one out and to put the new one in

Yup and they have for a while. I got endlinks for my CRX about 4 years ago from autozone.
