What’s sup guys, so after hours of trying to tackle what was a clunking noise coming from my front suspension. It ended up to be the front sway bar bushings that are worn out. My front end links were tight, front sway bar end links were good, axels were also good, and had it aligned and checked by the person completing my alignment. I tried googling these bushings and checked eBay and I can’t find these things. Any help for a possible link for these bushings ? I even tried Honda parts now but they didn’t have the bushings there for sale.

OEM bushings are bonded to the Front sway bar. They're clocked in a way that makes the sway bar ends 'bounce back' to a set position at rest.

I think you have to buy a replacement oem bar or go aftermarket, which will include poly or hardened rubber bushings.

Or if you can find 29mm bushings you might be able to fit something custom.

And of course the noise wasn’t the sway bar. Now I will have to go to the dealer so they can figure it out. Two shops told me they wasn’t sure.
