I assume this is for your 92 civic 4dr ex chassis. Yes that would be the rear sway bar but would not be the reason the rear is sagging. What kind of strut and spring set up do you have? I would guess old worn out spring possibly bushings would be the culprit

Yes, you should put it on! it's not a life or death, but definetly put it on it.


Is it all there? does the left bushing have a d- bracket?

other then that, do you have the brackets on your subframe? If you do, you need bolts. which will be cheap.

Why don't you look it up at autozone or at the parts websites? They have parts diagrams to show what's available and what's missing.

If you car is sagging, you might check to see if the previous owner cut the springs. Anyone who would remove the sway bar might take a hack saw to the springs.

car has lowering springs in back, but i already knew that the front are no name brand adjustables and kyb struts...but thats not my complaint, the only thing bothering me is the play in the steering wheel that im having..its horriable i was going maybe 45-50 maybe a slight turn and the car jerked it self like it had extra play.....i dont like that ****

i did a little research, the reason why my tire has a little play when jack up isnt because of wheel bearing or tie rod. because of my driver side ball joint. so thank god its not my rack&pinion

Racks can get expensive, yes, that price can climb even higher if you have a shop replace it.

yea, well thanks man for your help here, i can tell you have patience for my lack of knowledge on cars and i appreciate it, not like some people on this forum . Ill keep you posted on my car

also i figured that my cars running rich because i dont see no smoke and it stinks like burnt charcol witch lead to my though of the car not being tuned i mean it cant be tuned obviously if vtec isnt even connected (no vtec wire harness) ...so this car isnt running to its full potential...


this week ill be replacing motor mounts,lower ball joints




and start saving up for a tune...then full suspension.
