If the front end of your 7th gen Civic or RSX feels lazy on turn-in and you can see the bar shifting in the bracket, this pair of 20mm Whiteline sway bar bushings puts the grip back for the price of a lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Is and Why It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sway bar bushing has one job: hold the bar tight to the chassis so the bar twists instead of sliding. Factory rubber gets oil-soaked and ovalled out, which means the first few degrees of roll do nothing. Whiteline molds these from a synthetic elastomer that is firmer than rubber and does not take a set, with a knurled inner bore and lips that hold grease against the bar. That is the difference between a poly bushing that squeaks after a month and one that stays quiet. The result on a stock RSX is a sharper initial response to steering input, roughly what you would feel from going up one bar size, without touching the bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are firmer than the OEM rubber. You will get slightly more noise transmitted through the bar mounts and you need to grease them on install. That is the trade for a bushing that holds the bar where it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetail\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eW23378\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKit contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 bushings, grease (per manufacturer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBar diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSynthetic elastomer with knurled bore and grease retention lips\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstall time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 hour, per manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimited lifetime on W-series bushings, per manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2002-2006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcura\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRSX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase and Type-S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK20A3, K20A2, K20Z1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2001-2005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCivic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDX, LX, EX, HX, GX, Hybrid (non-Si)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD17, L13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1997-2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCR-V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB20, K24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is sized for a 20mm front bar.

Whiteline builds this bushing for a 20mm bar and it will not clamp a 21 or 22mm bar correctly. The K20A2 RSX Type-S and the EP3 Civic Si came with different front bar diameters over the years, and plenty of these cars are already running a Progress or Eibach bar. Calipers on the bar next to the bracket, then order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the grease that comes in the kit and use all of it. A dry poly bushing is what makes the squeak everyone complains about. If you want the bar to stop walking sideways as well as stop rotating in the mount, add a pair of Whiteline lateral locks in the matching size; the two together fix everything a tired factory mount does wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are front bushings only. The DC5 and EP3 rear bar uses a different bushing, and if you are doing a rear bar upgrade the Whiteline BHR67XZ ships with its own. While you are under the car, check the end links; a worn end link on a K20 chassis knocks over every bump and takes the edge off any bushing upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2002-2006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcura\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRSX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase and Type-S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK20A3, K20A2, K20Z1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2001-2005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCivic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDX, LX, EX, HX, GX, Hybrid (non-Si)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD17, L13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1997-2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCR-V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB20, K24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is sized for a 20mm front bar.
