Accord Type V
Despite having changed the rear antiroll bar links still have a persistent light knock for the rear nearside Trying to find a diagram which would help me understand the layout at the rear
as think it may be a ball joint or bush on the rear arms
Any suggestions Thanks

Have you checked the shock top hat bushing?

they can shrink by 0.5mm creating play. mine knocked, I put some silicone under it, tight as new now.

My car is a 2002 Type V 2.3 about 150 bhp so not much difference than 2.0 litre
but better mid-range pull

Type-V was the fully loaded luxury model of the range as opposed to Type-S which is more sporty than luxurious though not overtly sporty like a Type-R.
 
As has been said the Type V is basically a parts bin extraviganzer! That's not meant to sound nasty so sorry that it does. I think i'd better quantify it :lol:

The ATV is a non-vtec 6th gen Accord. It has all the special bits that Honda had laying around - i.e. Sat-Nav, heated seats, full leather, you know the luxurary of the time. They are a brilliant car and to sit in still feel nearly bang up to date with the modern euro s**** boxes that are knocking around.

The ATV is by no means a fast car, but if you're looking for comfort and luxuary at a stupidly cheap price, there it is!
 
My Accord Type V is an 02 PLATE with all the goodies except Sat Nav which nust have been an option in O2
It has a 2.3 vtec plant which develops about 150 bhp not much more than the 2.0 but defintely has more pull from
3500revs Screems about 4000 - 6250 and very entertaining with a great chassis
Paid about £1800 for mine with 110000 miles and FHSH cheap quality transport for the money

^^^ My point exactly!!! Great cars they are. I forgot they did a Vtec Version in the facefilt. Sorry,
