Do these endlinks fit?

Does anyone have a picture of their sway bar endlinks? I want to know if these fit the '06+ Civics: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=130074218905

I don't have an '06+ Civic yet, but I might soon... :)

thanks,
M

Well.. from the information provided on that particular Ebay auction.. it says it fits the 06+ Civics.. both the FG and the FA and that it fits with the Progress sway bars for the FG/FA.. so apparently it does fit.. but not all information on Ebay is accurate and the seller is somewhat new.. so yeah... Anyone wanna be a guinea pig for us? Haha.

Don't do it. They are the same ones I had that were nasty and noisy. I removed them and put on Hotchkis.

I don't know.. I guess it's a safety precaution.. If you're going to replace the sway bar with a stiffer one.. maybe someone would want to replace the endlink too.. because isn't there a small chance that the endlink might break a long way down the line? So yeah.. it's like how people (me included) are waiting for the Koni shock/struts to come out because you don't have to replace the stock shock/struts when putting on lowering springs.. but we'd like to cause they might eventually break.. so its all a matter of personal opinion.

The stock endlinks stand less of a chance of breaking than aftermarket ones do. The stock ones are pretty soft and flexible, versus being made of solid pieces of aluminum like the aftermarket ones. Just food for thought.

They're soft and flexible? That's an accident waiting to happen! They're supposed to articulate to allow a full range of motion, but not to flex. Flex isn't good. Plus those endlinks on eBay aren't made out of aluminum. They're zinc coated steel. I haven't seen a set of endlinks made for 7th or 8th gen Civics or RSX's in aluminum yet.
