Troubleshooting my 2006 Accord

I've had a rattle on the passenger side of my wife's 2006 Accord for a while and noticed a slight vibration in the steering wheel under hard braking. I noticed that the front bushing on the forearm had practically fallen apart, so I figured it would probably be easier to just replace the entire arm than try to replace that bushing (which was a good decision, given that the other two bushings, although in relatively good condition, were very rusty on the inside, which probably didn't bode well). Actually loosen the 3 screws holding the lever in place. In my case, the damper fork pinch bolt was rusted in a bushing on the old arm bushing. I had to wiggle it back and forth pretty hard with an impact wrench to loosen it. Also, I'd recommend buying a replacement stabilizer at the same time as this one, as you'll probably have to knock the old one out to get it off (and might have to cut it with a hacksaw). . Finally, you'll probably want to find an OEM dealer for your vehicle to buy new mounting bolts, as there's a good chance the old ones are pretty rusty and worth replacing. a month or two so can't comment on its durability but so far it has eliminated knocking and greatly reduced vibration under hard braking.
