Sway Bar End Link Tightening
#2
Get under the car safely then remove the wheels, then look at your sway bar, at the end of the sway bar there's this little thing that connects from the sway bar to the lower control arm, that's the end link. It transfers sway bar load to the control arm.
There they are at the end of the sway bar. You'll need a 14mm wrench and a 4 or 5 mm allen key I can't remember which. It's a ripe pain in the ass to do the front passenger side one. That one you're better off tightening the allen part and holding the nut

Thanks Slowcrash.
I have the clicking metal noise upon starting off from a stop / when pulling into a sloped path(driveway). After some research, everyone determined it to be loose endlinks so I wanted to give them a tightening.

If it's a ticking clicking metal noise only when you start from a stop, that could be the signs of the wheel bearings going bad. Look up the axle nut TSB for more information.

OEM Honda endlinks don't experience locknut loosening, they are tight as hell and are extremely difficult to remove, not likely the source of your noise unless the endlinks themselves are completely worn out. The axle nut TSB could be the likely noise as slowcrash mentioned.

I looked into that too.. But based on the youtube videos, axle nut noise is constant.
This only happens in three scenarios:
1.) Starting from a start or reverse (basically any low speed maneuvers)
2.) Driving on a sloped surface (pulling into my driveway)
3.) Occasional turns
It doesn't always occur, but it has been happening more often which is why I am a little concerned.
Thoughts? I can try to get a video clip but not sure how since it is hit or miss.
