if the link separates, it can be serious - if you're used to a certain
roll characteristic and suddenly it's not there, you can end up upside
down in a field at the side of the road. i /guarantee/ you notice the
difference - i've experimented with sway bars extensively.

For your average everyday driver who does not push the limit of his car in
the manner of a racer or experimenter, a broken stabilizer bar link is
quite invisible indeed. Such a driver will lose tire traction and plow into
the ditch well before he rolls the car due to an inactive anti-roll bar.
We are also dealing with a car driven by the OP's wife. Women as a rule do
*not* push their cars to the limit in *any* sense of the word, other than
how many kids they can cram into the vehicle on their way to
Chuck-E-Cheese.

interestingly enough, the loaded car is /exactly/ the situation where
the sway bar's function is going to be most apparent to the "average"
driver. when transitioning from a lean in one direction to a lean in
the other, like when you're on the freeway having to do an emergency
lane change because of some dangerous behavior ahead, if the return rate
of the first lean happens to coincide with the turn-in rate of the
second lean, and unfortunately there's a strong coincidence, suddenly
you have a very dangerous roll moment. that's the mechanism by which
heavy high center of gravity suv's flip over. heavily loaded cars can
do it too.
sway bars do two things: raise the return rate so the chances of the
driver turning into the second lean hard enough and fast enough to get
this "coincidence" is much reduced. secondly, it reduces the actual
degree of lean, so the overall body return moment is reduced in the
first place.
sway bars aren't on all cars because they're associated with "sports",
and unfortunately, the kind of bean counters that run car companies have
all been to the same "management" school that tells them they must
differentiate between product and extract the highest dollar for every
marginal difference possible. if engineering school attendance was
mandatory for these people, cars would be much safer. fortunately for
more modern vehicles, the european "moose test" and thread of class
action law suits keeps the worst behavior at bay, but it doesn't mean
there's not significant room for improvement.
if you want to test all this, it's easy enough to disconnect the sway
bars on your integra. just wire the ends up out of the way and the
suspension can move through full travel without problem. put some bags
of sand in the back seats if you really want to believe.

driver. when transitioning from a lean in one direction to a lean in
the other, like when you're on the freeway having to do an emergency
lane change because of some dangerous behavior ahead, if the return rate
of the first lean happens to coincide with the turn-in rate of the
second lean, and unfortunately there's a strong coincidence, suddenly
you have a very dangerous roll moment. that's the mechanism by which
heavy high center of gravity suv's flip over. heavily loaded cars can
do it too.
sway bars do two things: raise the return rate so the chances of the
driver turning into the second lean hard enough and fast enough to get
this "coincidence" is much reduced. secondly, it reduces the actual
degree of lean, so the overall body return moment is reduced in the
first place.
sway bars aren't on all cars because they're associated with "sports",
and unfortunately, the kind of bean counters that run car companies have
all been to the same "management" school that tells them they must
differentiate between product and extract the highest dollar for every
marginal difference possible. if engineering school attendance was
mandatory for these people, cars would be much safer. fortunately for
more modern vehicles, the european "moose test" and thread of class
action law suits keeps the worst behavior at bay, but it doesn't mean
there's not significant room for improvement.
if you want to test all this, it's easy enough to disconnect the sway
bars on your integra. just wire the ends up out of the way and the
suspension can move through full travel without problem. put some bags
of sand in the back seats if you really want to believe.

Re: 2004 Accord headlight bulb replacement
It's the one with the two small notches, where popping out the center will
allow the three plastic legs to be pulled out of the hole. In removing them,
the plastic legs have a tendency to break. Flimsy...
And in response to the other comment, I know that the broken link is not of
immediate seriousness, otherwise I would not be allowing my wife to drive it
to work while we wait for the local Honda dealer to get one in stock. It's
supposed to be in early this week and she has an appointment for Wednesday
for repair (warranty). They removed the dangling end of the link so it
wouldn't flail around and strike other objects within it's reach, which it
had been doing, was my more immediate concern. She is a safe and
level-headed driver who I can trust to not approach the handling limits of
her car, unless in an emergency maneuver. I'm satisfied that the lack of a
sway bar doesn't represent an serious and immediate danger to her.

Re: 2004 Accord headlight bulb replacement
It's the one with the two small notches, where popping out the center will
allow the three plastic legs to be pulled out of the hole. In removing them,
the plastic legs have a tendency to break. Flimsy...
And in response to the other comment, I know that the broken link is not of
immediate seriousness, otherwise I would not be allowing my wife to drive it
to work while we wait for the local Honda dealer to get one in stock. It's
supposed to be in early this week and she has an appointment for Wednesday
for repair (warranty). They removed the dangling end of the link so it
wouldn't flail around and strike other objects within it's reach, which it
had been doing, was my more immediate concern. She is a safe and
level-headed driver who I can trust to not approach the handling limits of
her car, unless in an emergency maneuver. I'm satisfied that the lack of a
sway bar doesn't represent an serious and immediate danger to her.
