Rear bumping noise

I have a 98 Accord with 100K Miles. Last 10,000 miles I'd been hearing more and more the bumping noises mostly over small bumps at 30 MPH or less. I found that it was the rear sway bar brackets. The rubber bushing was worn and allowing the bar to bounce. I removed them and applied electrical tape around the bar then installed the old ones back on to make sure that was the noise. That did it. I'm not into hacking and I will replace the rubber bushings soon. I could hear the noise by shaking the bar from under the car. It is two 12 mm bolts holding the brackets on. Easy fix!

duh!

thanks for sharing!

Don't wait very long to replace those, your rideing around in a semi dangereous situation there.

The longer you wait the worst your cars gonna get...
