ok, i've noticed a creaking sound coming from the rear driverside quarter of the car whenever i go over bumps or turn (assumed it was something to do with the suspension on that corner), actually i noticed it a while ago, and it went away so i didnt bother checking it out
it came back recently so i finally got off my ass and check it out.
it seems the bracket thingo is rusted through and cracked open, here's a pic:




now obviously i have to replace that lol, just wondering if anyone know how much it'll cost me (just being a little girl, scared of mechanics lol) and is it still safe to drive the car (for another few hundred kms)?
as far as i can see, it shouldn't have dmged any other parts, but can someone reasure me about that please lol

hmm couldnt oyu get that welded up mate get it cut and re welded at a exhaust shop or something mate, it looks liek rust has got to it check the whole tal bar to see for other signs of rust.

stuff that looks bent. get another one wouldnt be much.

DAMN thats a nasty rust spot :S, you checked your roof ???

T_T'
thats the shape it's supposed to be
jason my roof is fine, stop trying to make me paranoid lol (i check the damn thing before, cos i was paranoid >.<)

do u guys think it'll last a few more hundred Ks?

Can you give us a bigger shot - not in size, just include surrounding parts that are attached...

hehehe sorry mate

Ahh, its the sway bar bracket. Yes, you probably could drive it a few hunderd kms. Yes, it will probably snap.

Surely dstocks wold have a spare. If you must drive with it, I'd pull that bracket off all together.
