Broken Drivers Side Sway Bar Mount

Post by Valandis91 »

so driving around the past few days heard a tapping sound from the rear when going round corners, first thought was exhaust but it wasnt. then today in the car park turning the corner heard a snap and my rear went all rolly and loose. when i got home i looked under and found the mount that the rear sway bar has the bush that holds it in place had snapped!

is this common?

what couldve caused it?

whats the best way to repair it?

definitely will be driving very cautiously from now on.

yeah wear and tear dude, speed by the extra harshness off coilovers etc.

all swaybar bushes and droplinks if needed are easily replaced unless its the front one :x
