You might have adjusted your hood latch too high. Try to bring it down some and see if there any rubber stoppers you can adjust on the radiator support or something.

this came in the mail today, I needed these BAD too, esp. after wacking my balljoints w/ that pickle fork that obliterated the boots, which were torn already lol

EDIT: this didn't solve my problem, but LUCKILY, the parts guy accepted it for return and I got my money back.

ur lucky...my honda dealer..wont do that

So i finally got around to doing the boots, I had no choice for the tierod boots at autozone, so i had to go w/ red for those but everything fit fine and my car drivers a lot "tighter" now that there is grease in the balljoints and tierod ends. Before, the upper balljoints felt really gritty and a lot of friction was noticeable, now, the suspension seems to work much better and there aren't any noises coming from the front


^^^new upper boots by ES, they fit like a GLOVE, i even heard them snap in place....sweet

candy apple red ES tierod boot


Lower balljoint boot fixed!


the old shits, that gave me rattles and squeaks.

So I found a ST Rear Sway Bar from a guy locally for only $40! BRAND NEW! and I installed it today. I can really feel the difference in the cornering like everyone says, it feels a lot tighter and nimble


^^58 pieces in total.....phew that was a lot of assembling, but wasn't bad.

^^comparison from my old Vigor to my new 21mm ST RSB.

16mm vs 21mm




^^^cardboard, mans best friend.



^^it even clears my exhaust perfectly fine.



^^polyurethane endlinks


tons O clearance

mmmmmm BEEFY!

Sweet swaybar. I need to start gathering things for my CB to handle as well as my next Supra.

yeah I can't wait to take my CB up for a spin in the mountain areas w/ the windy roads. I have my heart set on going up near Sedona/Flagstaff, AZ hopefully when college gets out and opening her up on the canyon roads.

oh damn you went all out! yeah it was kinda fun installing the sway bar, well not TOO fun since I got dirty beyond belief rolling around on the ground lol, but just assembling it, was kinda interesting, the instructions SUCK BALLZ but I managed eventually.

haha yeah pretty soon I'm gonna add a freshly Recleared VIS CF hood to the list the guy should be done w/ it by the end of this week, It weighs 22lbs less than OEM! I weighed it!

ha ha, gettin dirty is what it's all about

i can't wait to get my sway bars on. if you felt a difference going from a vigor sway to the 21mm, i should feel a huge difference. the stock ex-r one is thin and flimsy

So today, since I found a FRESH 92 EX sedan w/ 120K and a good steering wheel, ie: the vinyl wasn't coming unglued like it is in mine, I swapped that one in for my old nasty one. I learned a lot about my airbag too, lol...thank god it didn't deploy in the meantime.


airbag off

all the sensor doohicky's

I put the cruise control back on

the airbag itself



All mounted up, new JY steering wheel for $15.


don't forget to disable this switch on the bottom first, before removing the airbag.

oh and here's pics from the valve adjustment I did about a month ago, I replaced the RockerArm O-rings too, that plagues most of the engines at this age.

Here's some pics I took when I did the replacement of the Rocker-arm O-rings:






















old petrified O-rings that didn't seal for shit







new O-rings, much softer rubber
