Well...
After little effort (unbelievable) the bushings are in. I have noticed significant improvments, but there is still a little bit of "looseness" Perhaps the rear bushings need replacing also>???

Have a look at them. Primary one is the great big one in the trailing arm. Keep in mind that your shocks will be a tad loose after all those miles. Not enough to be dangerous, but enough to keep it from feeling like it did when new. And don't discount the effect of tires. Tires can introduce or remove a *very significant* amount of precision in suspension-feel quite independently of the suspension itself. I recommend the Yokohama ES100. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Re: Front end Question
Yokohama ES100 not good for Canadian snowstorms...
I will have a look at the rear suspension today sometime... But the play seems to be coming from the front end.. The tires will remain as I can't affrod new ones right now.
