If your getting upto 3" of lateral movement prior to fitting your damper somethings munched fella PERIOD - I dont care how much PVA glue you used rebuilding the thing, it's goosed, get a new one. In fact I'd replace the N/S one as well as that probably took a beating when you O/S one gave up the ghost!! Hell the rear two too.

I'm pretty sure the forces present in a transverse mounted engine are also present in a longitudinaly mounted one

I thought about it, then did a little research and came to the conclusion that they're of little to no use on the road.

I'm guessig Honda didnt fit one, because they dont do owt, besides removing the ringing "shifter", which if memory serves Honda designed into the car to give it "character".
Honda issued a bulletin on how to fix the ringing shifter issue and obviously did something because it isn't present in the later models.
