Think i broke something...major....

Post by custommodz »

Went to hawthorn to day, met a friend, moved the car from the car park and heard a metal scraping from the drivers side.

Got out to investigate, and found something hanging down off the car from the suspension, looks like round bar and was attached high up but sheered lower down. Won't get a chance to check this until tomorrow.

Any chance ive broken my anti roll bar? If so where the hell can i get one from?

It may have done a drop link, I think I read some place that the sway bar can break as well :?

    Yeah, Im leaning towards swaybar too. Seen quite a few let go recently. Its always in the same spot too, where it hits the control arm when you hit a big bump & have worn ARBs.
