I can get it off as my nuts are on to tight... my wheel alignment seems to be off now as well

Mate, your droplink is bent to the shithouse!
Thats meant to be a straight bar.... I'd also have a look at the swaybar & swaybar bushes (where that droplink connects)
Did you hit anything or bottom out?

Crap that's not good. Nah didn't hit anything, it was just drive up the driveway which is a bit of an incline and then stop at the top and then as I was stopping there was a big crack noise...

To be even more specific (ignore the highlighted part) BMF44 or BMF44Z is what you want.

Just another Question. How hard is it to replace the Front Sway Bar yourself? Is it somthing i should be getting the mechanic to do?

Rears easy, front's a bit more labour.
Damn that is one unhappy droplink and bush
but i got them off eventually, is there a pic of somthing you want specifically?
