Was driving around my little POS, and noted that it was wallowing WAY more than usual. Pulled the front tire, and noted this: ![http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5260/5456990274_46855973b5_b.jpg](http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5260/5456990274_46855973b5_b.jpg) So just out of curiosity, I pulled the other front and saw this: ![http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5292/5456382305_97ff3cc42b_b.jpg](http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5292/5456382305_97ff3cc42b_b.jpg) First time I’ve ever broken a swaybar, rather than just an end-link.

> [@LZ](#): > > I was going to say looks like F-body control arm and shock setup Good news for me is I don’t have to drop the front subframe to swap out the bar… had to do that for my Monaro clone. ---

My 88 gmc sierra did the same thing. One side snapped like that the other side broke a bolt.
