Greetings to all, My '05 has developed a klunk when cornering to the left on a rough road surface. It sounds like the Stabilizer Bar issue to me.I checked out NHTSA's web page and it shows 3 TSBs relating to "Stabilizer Bar Link Assy.Noise" Anyone out there got a copy or information for any of these? Thanks

Hey I had that problem and the dealer said is was the link. Replaced under warranty.

A tsb would be nice

A tsb would be nice

There are three Service bulletins for stabilzer assemby noises. None of these relate to the Element. Two are specific to Accords, one for a limited production range where the bushing bracket bolts could loosen due to being improperly torqued during assembly, the other for certain model years where the replacement rear links are to be replaced as a set. The other TSB relates to Pilots and Odyssey front links (which bear no resemblance to the E front links, at all).

TSBs are a method for engineering to convey information to the service departments. Service departments need recall repair information, so these are transmitted in TSB format, but very few TSBs are actually recalls.

As to the comment that "a TSB would be nice", TSBs can be a double-edged sword.

They may well contain information that would result in a quick, accurate and effective repair for a specific concern - provided that the technician actually takes the time to determine if the TSB is actually applicable to the issue at hand.

Unfortunately a large number of technicians view TSBs as an acceptable "out" for acting brain dead, and they will "perform" a given TSB without any regard to it's applicability - hang a part and ship it, if it comes back with the same complaint, try something else.

The point is, just because a TSB exists, it doesn't automatically mean that the information contained in the bulletin will result in an effective repair.
