Genuine Rear Stabilizer Bar Bushing for Honda Accord Coupe 1998–2002 – 52306-S82-A01

The Genuine Honda rear stabilizer bar bushing 52306-S82-A01 is the factory-specified component used in the Honda Accord Coupe 1998–2002 (chassis code CG). Its role is to secure the rear stabilizer bar, maintain precise body control and reduce excessive roll — crucial for the more dynamically tuned Accord Coupe.

Unlike many aftermarket bushings that use inappropriate rubber hardness or incorrect geometry, the Honda OEM bushing provides the exact elasticity, damping characteristics and fitment intended by the factory. This ensures quiet suspension operation, predictable handling and long-term durability.

Application – Compatibility

This OEM bushing is compatible with:

• Honda Accord Coupe 1998–2002 (CG) – rear stabilizer bar bushing

Note: This part is specific to the Coupe. The Accord VI sold in Europe as a sedan (CG/CH) used a different rear suspension layout. This bushing is not interchangeable with sedan versions.

Why choose Honda OEM bushings?

• Perfect factory fitment – correct inner diameter and profile for the original stabilizer bar.
• Correct OEM rubber compound – ensures proper damping and long-term flexibility.
• Quiet suspension operation – reduces knocking noises and vibration transmitted to the chassis.
• Long service life – significantly more durable than low-cost aftermarket bushings.
• Improved handling safety – stabilizer bar works within factory specifications, enhancing rear-end control.

Symptoms of a worn stabilizer bar bushing

A worn or cracked bushing typically causes:

• knocking noises from the rear when driving over uneven surfaces,
• excessive body roll in corners,
• “loose” or unstable rear-end feel,
• delayed steering response in quick transitions.

Installation notes

The OEM bushing 52306-S82-A01 installs easily using the factory bracket. Proper alignment and correct tightening torque are essential for optimal performance. No major suspension disassembly is required.
