Sway Bar Links
I am thinking about purchasing some suspension techniques sway bar end links. They are 1 5/8''. does anyone know if they will work on my G1 sedan?

Actually the bushings are red. I pm'd NuclearSymphony because he used to have some in his online store. He said over an inch. I want to make sure 1 5/8'' isn't too large though. They are not designed for the Legend, but should work if 1 5/8'' isn't too large.

^ Gotcha  ...they're also a wee bit thicker and you'd need a longer rod, looks like THIS bolted down!

It comes with a rod also. or am i gonna need to get another one also? What do the lenghts mean? Not the length of the rod or the diameter. Must be that metal sleeve huh? Also, how hard of a DIY is this? Does the tie rod need to come off like in your picture?

I'm almost certain your length (thickness) query is 1 5/8"
 ...if the kit comes with the rod, then I assume it'll work. And NO, the tie rod-end does not need to come out!Here's how you'd go about replacing them links (with the wheel off)... - to relieve tension, place scissor jack under the lower ball joint - carefully raise the hub up until needed slack for the connector/link is achieve - remove connector/link (take notes on rubber bushings and hardware orientation) - slowly drop the hub assembly down

Perfect!! I'm going to give it a try. The removal and installation seems pretty straight forward, just relieve some pressure from the hub, remove and reinstall. I just hope that the bolt is a good fit. wish me luck!! So you think 1 5/8'' is a good size? As i said anything around 1'' so i heard. The extra 5/8'' shouldn't make it too long i hope.

I just picked up the sway bar bushings and the 1 5/8'' is the length of the metal sleeve on the middle of the bolt. Is 1 5/8'' too big?
