I'm looking for a pick of those OEM diagrams that show all the parts for the front sway bar set-up. I've search, but no luck, or a pick of someones front sway bar will do as well.

 

Does this help?

 

I think thats it, I'm having a squeaking problem as was told the sway bar linkage is making the noise.

EDIT: Mine has a different part were the sway bar attaches to the control arm. Kind of a zing zang bushing piece.

 

That picture is for the 99 EX from Hondaautomotiveparts.com

 

El's have ball joint style front links

 

It probably looks more "like" the SI then:

it's "pic" as in "picture". Not "pick" as in "ice pick"

 

Hey ELSpool, I don't know if you're still looking for this or not considering you created this thread almost a year ago and it has recently come up again, but here is the real deal. This is the suspension for our EL's.



I remember you told me to check these when I posted about my clunk a while back. It turns out these endlinks (#23) are the problem, my other problem is that they cost $100 ******* dollars each side from Acura. Hondaautomotiveparts.com doesn't have a price for them, and won't answer my emails. I haven't got them yet, if anyone knows where I can get them for cheaper, LMK.

 

Just a little FYI for those who are interested... I figured out why the EL's have the ball-joint type link now as opposed to the straight one found on Civics. It's because the EL's suspension is sort of a mix between the Civic EX and the Civic SiR. The 1996-2000 Civic EX has a 22mm front swaybar, whereas the front swaybar of a 1997-2000 Acura EL is the same 26mm swaybar found in the 99-00 SiR. The lower control arms of the EL are the same lower control arm as the 1996-2000 Civic EX. You can clearly see from the above diagrams the differences in the endlinks. The 99-00 SiR has a unique lower control arm that allows the "zig-zag" link to bolt up. The EL's link is half-and-half, the balljoint on the top to meet the SiR 26mm sway, the straight end on the bottom to meet the ordinary Civic EX LCA.
