Angry Broken rear passenger Stabilizer link

Hey, i was working on my suspension and accidentally broken the passenger side rear stabilizer link.

my question is, i have to work in the morning and it will take me atleast a few days to get the part. IS this safe to drive like this?

I spoke with a friend and he mentioned popping the other side out as well so i dont risk snapping it too and i would be safe driving like that.


i just would really like a for sure answer.

thanks in advance guys

Yes it is safe, you'll just have a little more understeer. I'd pull all the pieces of the broken one and have a look to see if the bar will hit something when one wheel is up and the other is down. If so, undo the second link and tie the bar out of the way somehow.

thank you very much for taking the time to post that.

ive been stressing all day.


i finally just now got the car back together and i just took the whole rear sway bar assembly out until i can get the rear stabilizer from honda.



the reason i had my suspension apart if you were wondering is because i bought the Eibach Pro Kit a few months ago, installed it and the front of my car sat high yet the rear was dumped. today i decided to do a little bit of research.

found out the problem, then i was working on the car and a buddy of mine stopped by and claimed he had done tons of these before.

well.. turns out he's the main reason the link broke because he had NO idea what he was doing.

but the car is back together, i can now drive to work in the morning.

thanks for your help Corey
