today while i had my car on jackstands gettin ready on changin my oil jet bolts. I noticed on my lower control arm that like elbow joint its like 90degrees and is mounted right next to the strut. well its broken not the metal arm but the joint where it swivels like its plastic piece. i dont know how it happened most likely just wear and tear and its an 01 but how can i replace that? any know if its gonna be a PITA it doesnt look like it but im just asking for some opinions to see what can be done and to prevent this from happening again. thanks

 

I'm having a hard time visualizing what part you are talking about, but I think you mean the swaybar endlink...which is easy to replace. However, it might be really helpful if you could post a pic (use photobucket since you aren't a member)...even a pic from a cell phone would be better than nothing.

 

will do yea my membership expired recently just havent resigned again. ima go take a pic

 

here are the pics...

yup def ur sway bar endlink...as for prevention theres nothing i know of that could prevent it...it should be a cheap and easy to fix part..

 

You broke your sway bar endlink. Its a super easy fix.

 

yea it looked like it so all i gotta do is when i go to honda is to ask for driver side sway bar end link? i dont want them to give me a WTF face cuz they dont know what im talkin about.

 

They will know exactly what you are talking about if you ask for a front swaybar endlink.

 

is it still possible to drive my car to my house because im moving to another place 25miles away and i want to be able to fix it in my other garage. shoot i dont know how long it has been broken. im going to call honda tomorrow about gettin one

 

^ yea just don't go getting crazy on any turns. Your car probably feels a little "loose" going around corners with that broken.
