Stop Sway Bar Slop Before It Eats Your Handling
Factory rubber sway bar mount bushings break down fast under repeated heat cycles and cornering loads, letting the front sway bar shift inside its mounts and dulling steering response. The Whiteline W23845 27mm sway bar mount bushing kit replaces that worn rubber with a knurled-ID synthetic elastomer bushing engineered to grip the bar securely while retaining grease for smooth, quiet articulation. It is a direct bolt-in match for a 27mm front sway bar and restores the crisp, predictable turn-in that factory rubber loses over time.
Key Features
- Knurled inner diameter grips grease to reduce squeak and bushing migration
- High-durometer synthetic elastomer resists heat, oil, and road salt far longer than rubber
- Synchronizes the suspension system for sharper handling and steering feel
- Direct fit for a 27mm front sway bar, no cutting or drilling required
- Backed by a Whiteline Limited Lifetime Warranty

FAQ
What is the W23845?The Whiteline W23845 is a front sway bar mount bushing kit designed for a 27mm sway bar, using a knurled-ID synthetic elastomer bushing to reduce bar movement and improve steering response on compatible Honda Civic models.
Will the W23845 fit my Honda Civic?It fits 2016-2021 Honda Civic EX, EX-L, LX, Sport, Sport Touring, and Touring trims, 2016-2018 EX-T and LX-P, 2017-2020 Si, and 2017-2021 Type R. Confirm your sway bar diameter is 27mm before ordering.
How many bushings come in this kit?The kit includes 2 bushings, enough to replace both mounting points on one 27mm front sway bar.
Do I need a 27mm sway bar for this bushing to fit?Yes. This bushing is sized specifically for a 27mm bar diameter and will not properly clamp a bar of a different size.
Why does the bushing have a knurled inner diameter?The knurled ID is designed to retain grease at the bar contact surface, which reduces squeaking and helps the bushing keep its grip on the bar over time.
Are Whiteline bushings better than factory rubber?Whiteline's synthetic elastomer compound resists heat, oil, and age-related breakdown far better than factory rubber, which keeps the sway bar securely mounted and preserves consistent handling for longer.
Is professional installation required?Most installers with basic suspension experience and standard hand tools can complete this swap. A shop install is recommended if you are not comfortable working under the front end of the vehicle.
Does this kit include a warranty?Yes, the W23845 is backed by Whiteline's Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects.
Install Instructions
- Safely raise and support the front of the vehicle, then remove the wheels if needed for access.
- Locate the front sway bar mounting brackets and remove the bolts securing them to the chassis.
- Remove the factory rubber bushings from the sway bar.
- Clean the sway bar contact surface and apply a light coat of grease to the new Whiteline bushing ID.
