You did not mention about how tight the space the driver side bushing is. It is impossible to remove the bushing when you are beside the car. You have to get under the car to remove it!
Excellent video with clear and concise instructions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and providing recommendations to this job safely.
You didn't mention about removed the link
Did you disconnect the links before replacing the bar bushing?.
Great video with clear instructions. I replaced the stabilizer link, bushing and the tie rod end for my '07 MDX after following your video. I also had to resort to the reciprocating saw to cut off the top bolt for the stabilizer link. Thanks for the video. I hope you upload more videos, shocks/struts and more. I got 170K+ miles but now it feels really tight handling wise.
