Well, I got under my car today to replace a rear shock that I damaged irreparably last weekend, and to install a Mach1 style front spoiler.
All of that went smoothly, but when I was under the back of the car, I noticed that when I was jacking it up the sway bar was moving somewhat independently on one side. Well sure enough, it broke on the driver side near the rear bolt.
Looking it up, it seems it's very, very, very common.
Now, I need to replace it. I'm looking for suggestions to see what you guys recommend. Aftermarket? OEM new? OEM junkyard? If I go the junkyard route, what years and models are the ones to get? V6? GT? Years?
If I go aftermarket, who makes the best one for a very mildly modified car (will have it lowered in a few weeks, but pretty stock otherwise)?
I know it's not a big deal to drive with no sway bar, but the noise it's making now is annoying and I didn't take it off yet. I however have another vehicle to drive so the car will probably sit until I get a replacement. So given that, I'd still like to take care of this pretty soon. Ideas?
