Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Sway Bar Link fits the 2002-2006 Acura RSX Base, Type-S (DC5). Part number W23180. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. The listing names the Base and Type-S trims. The chassis code on the listing is DC5. You receive 2 links.
The rear sway bar can only do its job if its ends are tied firmly to the wheels, and the links make that connection. A loose or flexible link lets the body lean before the bar starts to push back, which is why worn links show up as a knock over bumps or a delayed feel at turn-in.
Whiteline rates the install as easy and lists about 1 hour. A wheel alignment is not required. To go with it on the Acura RSX, see Adjustable Sway Bar Vehicle Link Kit, 16mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Material: Made from steel.
- Easy to fit: Made with the installer in mind, so it goes in without special equipment.
- Rigid design: Less flex than the original parts means a quicker, more direct response, especially in lane changes and at initial turn-in.
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
- Ball joints: Heavy duty steel ball joints at the ends move through a wide arc to suit the application.
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
