2001 Honda Accord – Creaky Rear Stabilizer link

My wife’s car is a 2001 Honda Accord sedan, LX trim, automatic with about 125K miles. Last year there was some heavy construction in the neighborhood and she ran over a deep pothole with the left rear wheel. Ever since then, there has been a creaking sound coming from the left rear suspension when driving over bumps. Nothing too loud, just annoying.

I can reproduce the sound with the engine off by pushing down on the left rear part of the car (trunk), which made it easy to determine the source of the creaking sound. I attached a pic.

When I wiggle left/right on the rear stabilizer bar, the top part of the link creaks. I’ve tried to lube it up with some silicone spray, but it didn’t help.

Before I go and buy the part, does anyone know if replacing this part will get rid of the creak? I assumed there would be bushings, but from what I can tell by feel and pictures I’ve seen at online stores, there aren’t any. Seems odd there would be metal-to-metal contact.

I think this is the correct part, and I plan to order new nuts (10mm).
