Greetings. I am in the process of doing a complete front suspension rebuild on my HH-1 van. EZ-Kei Coil overs, control arms, ball joints, tie rods, steering links, the whole nine yards. I have everything I need except for one thing, and that is the sway bar bushings. I have the bushings that locate the sway bar to the control arm, but I need the bushings that locate the sway bar to the chassis. According to the parts sites that I use, these bushings are discontinued and I have had no luck with finding universal bushings that will fit. If anyone happens to know of a bushing that would work, I would greatly appreciate it. The bushings for the HA-1/HH1 and Ha-3/HH-3 are all the same from my research. The 4wd trucks and vans have a different part number, not sure how different they are but I'd be willing to try. I will give measurements if needed, but hoping someone has found a bushing that worked or required minor modifications.
I have a feeling this would work: https://ebay.us/m/XxUsz4 I really need that mount as I’m missing one on my van, maybe we can split this cost and you can send the mounts?
Thanks for the reply. Those bushings are physically too big for the existing brackets. I ended up buying some bushings for a Honda Beat. They are physically the same size as the Acty bushings, just 2mm over inside diameter. It’s kinda of a ghetto fix, but I wrapped several layers of smooth duct tape on the sway bar until I got the thickness I needed, then I greased the bushing and it seems to work. As for the bracket, try https://jp-carparts.com/honda/partlist.php?maker=honda&type=ACTY VAN&cartype=31191&fig=B&fig1=2710 or https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/honda-japan/acty/M-HH1/26973/steering/23927. If they don’t have it, you’ll either have to buy a used sway bar assembly with bushing and mounts, or see if a fab shop could make you a bracket. Hope it works out.
Hey sometimes you need it to "just work!" I have a makeshift bracket for the sway bar and it isnt rattling, so I'll take that as a win!
