2018+ Honda Accord Eibach Front Sway Bar Install and Subframe and Steering Rack Removal

On this week's episode will be showing how to install an eibach front sway bar on the 2018+ Honda Accord. Also will be showing how to drop the front subframe and steering rack. Debated about splitting this into 2 parts but ultimately decided it's better to have all the content in one video versus splitting.

Doing the front bar on top of the rear makes the world of difference. Most people don't want to do it because of how much work it is but it's worth it so much.

[@Kittana1498]

I like how non-rushed your videos feel. I don't mind some flare that some car mod videos have, but your videos are closer to actual install feel. Things are clear and informative. Thank you!

[@JustaHondaAccord]

Thanks a lot for the feedback, appreciate the detail being helpful.

[@aleks1892]

Did I just watched new car disassembled and worked on?😅 Great video, thank you very much!

[@ronelb27]

I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time, good job, I watched from start to finish. One thing I would’ve done is installing sway bar universal locks front and rear just to prevent any lateral move.

[@JustaHondaAccord]

Given on the eibach front sway bar there is a rib next to the sway bar bushing I don't believe there is anyway there could be lateral movement. On the rear bar I don't recall there being ribs and couldn't hurt to add some locks to limit the bar moving side to side.

[@joelf2349]

Great job! I appreciate the video just finished removing the subframe on 2020 honda civic. The methods are spot on.

[@protectyourcar5889]

That a lot of work. Only sway bar remove & install new. Thx u for video.

[@lorrinbarth1969]

My jack stands are rated for 6 tons. I think the smaller ones are strong enough but I like the big footprint - when my big bottom friend leans against the car, no chance for tipping. Anyway, I just bought a 2021 2 liter Accord so your video interests me because it gives me a first view of its nether parts. I do my own maintenance and repair.

[@MSN-82]

Just a tremendous effort between work, filming and production. On top of that, your presentation was highly professional which led me to watch the whole video 👍. One question, is it possible to install the sway bar by just removing the lower control arms? I could see some room to have it done if I wasn't mistaken. Keep the brilliant work up mate!

[@JustaHondaAccord]

Thanks for the feedback, managed to entertain the kids as usual while doing all of this on top of working and filming. You wouldn't be able to access the sway bar brackets because they are tightly sandwiched under the steering rack. Even if you could access those bolts don't see how you could fish the bar out. Unfortunately have to lower the subframe. You technically don't have to pull it completely out but if you have the subframe free you might as well to make swapping the bar a piece of cake with no additional space limitations.

[@Drutube44]

just got a 2020 accord sport, love the chanel bro keep on making videos

[@JustaHondaAccord]

Thanks a lot, will keep them coming

[@ewalsh19]

Good video very good information

[@devingordon9152]

Question, im in need of changing my sway bar bushings mainly drivers side. Do i need to drip the subframe for this?

[@regmatt]

that’s crasy amount of work u did ... nice job ...but i’ll be installing those engine strut bars that’s easy 👍🏻

[@JustaHondaAccord]

It's not as bad as it looks. You'll enjoy the strut bar and the 5 minutes of effort it takes to put on :)

[@rydenbahsad]

@43:57 I know when I replaced my cv axle on my 2012 civic I used a prybar there was slot where you insert the bar and separated the three bolts very easily

[@JustaHondaAccord]

I tried but no dice with the pry bar, probably situational if it will work based on the angle of the dangle you have suspension in.

[@legendofsmoke]

Hey boss, so I have the eibach sportline springs and added the rear eibach sway bar. I LOVE THE HANDLING, more responsive. So, when you added the front sway bar did that negate the benefits of the rear sway or did it improve even more? Any pros and cons to adding the front sway bar?

[@Babyjokers2.0t]

I would like to know as well

[@didieralvarado9904]

bro ive been looking everywhere for a video on how to remove the subframe, i was afraid that the engine had to be lifted to remove it, im changing my oil pan out cuz i cracked it open and couldnt get the new one in because the subframe is in the way

[@calviny9384]

Hey! Could you do a video showing an overview of all the mods you've done and ur overall impressions so far. Love the car bro

[@JustaHondaAccord]

Eventually will, hopefully will start getting new videos out next month

[@tirecheck]

Thanks great video

[@PHOTOBUG89]

How long did it take you to do the job from start to finish. I just had this job done a few days ago and I think they overcharged me on the labor. I took the car to professional shop and they charged me for seven hours labor. I am looking at this video because I honestly feel that I was ripped off. Did it take you seven hours to complete the job. Even if it did they have power tools you don't. You can tell this is not siting well with me.

[@floridaboy2998]

Great video 👍🏼 way to much work for me tho lol

[@mycahrourke143]

Hey I was wondering if you know if the sway bar on our cars can rotate up and down with the endlinks off, mine takes considerable force and springs back to a position and makes a popping noise while driving and I don’t know if I should replace the whole bar because it appears you can’t find bushings for them

[@pauls3758]

Also why did you not change the motor mount when you were down there I hear they have a solid one for wheel hop

[@Robbie2Fly]

Hey Nick, I just got my Eibach front and rear sway bar kit. I also bought CTR front end links and Whiteline rear end links because they looked way beefer than stock. Do you feel that was the right thing to do, or waste of a couple hundred bucks?

[@moises05201988]

Buena.. una pregunta el puente Lleva bujes

[@brianchuck9264]

Whats your view on the front and rear together?

[@JustaHondaAccord]

Handles extremely well, well worth it.

[@Michavelli1]

Being lowered. When the front wheels are turned, It looks like the sway bar is close to the axle or sitting right on top of it. Is that normal? Looks like it be hitting on mine.

[@jlcy8313]

Great video. I’m planning to get the Eibach Sport-Plus kit which comes with the springs and front and rear swaybars. I plan on just installing the springs and then rear swaybars to see how the car will feel. One of my biggest faults with this car is the under steer and with getting a stiffer rear sway bar hopefully the car will rotate more and eliminate some of that understeer. Did the car feel too unsettled and over steers too much if it’s only the rear swaybars? If it ends up being too much oversteer that’s when i’ll instal the front sway bar and mess with the stiffness settings.

[@JustaHondaAccord]

I was pretty happy with the car prior to the front sway bar despite the oversteer. The car handled better than stock but left you wanting more. The front sway bar feels like it gave that missing balance.

[@jordenfleury6258]

Can you make a full car/build walk around??

[@JustaHondaAccord]

You bet, will do.

[@JRod.Cuztom]

WhT size is the hex for the inlink?thank you

[@SammyBeltre]

do you have to drop all this just to replace bushings as well or can you access it without doing all this?

[@JustaHondaAccord]

No way to access them without dropping the subframe to my knowledge

[@JosePerez-cf1ow]

What a pain in the butt

[@vandeveldevlogs8471]

Is that the SC concept power bar? If so what did that cost you? There’s a v2 coming out in 2021 !!

[@JustaHondaAccord]

It is, I got it on a group but. Can't remember the cost think it was 150ish.

[@joelf2349]

Where did you find the torque specs for everything?

[@JustaHondaAccord]

I paid for a one day subscription for honda dealer access plus a subscriber to the channel who works at Honda gave the torque specs I missed while having my access.

[@pauls3758]

That's alot of work for a sway bar

[@nirwansiregar2085]

Record accord cm2

[@naruto2575]

Any other mods planned for the future?

[@JustaHondaAccord]

I have a few things to do. Been taking videos and planning on editing in the summer instead of dealing with the heat. Not much time left till I hit that point.

[@naruto2575]

@@JustaHondaAccord awesome looking forward to it

[@kno1self539]

@4:01 The last install that you failed in your life working on cars was actually installing a front sway bar on your 10th gen honda accord about 8 years ago...how was that possible when the 10th gen honda accord came out in 2017 and your video was created in 2020 and if you were to subtract 8 years from that we'll be in 2012 meaning you had the 10th gen honda accord 5 years before it was actually produced.

[@JustaHondaAccord]

Meant on my 8th gen accord.

[@HondaAccordPerformance]

Lame why did you get rid of your v6 accord.

[@Mx5pro]

The dealers are so full of it lol ooh biggest crooks

[@nexusly6720]

I feel sorry you are keeping this shit mobile

[@JustaHondaAccord]

Wish I had a lift but have gotten pretty efficient without one.

[@whitetiger9907]

Never buy a used car guys
