Alright ive been trying to research a bit about my car, if any other hx owner of Honda owner can clarify the markings on my car it would be much appreciated.

From what I can tell the hx had a very limited production run in 1996, or my car was one of the first with a manual transmission as I can only find references to cvt models in car and driver tests

Under side of the hood




On my drivers side rear lower control arm



No idea what the A stands for, it is one the gas tank and rear shocks and B is on the front shocks*
