Hey guys, there was a bad rattling under my car for the last week, and i finally figured it out. My rear sway bar cracked right at the rearmost bolt. Does anyone have a stock one they would sell for cheap, or know where I can get one. I can really feel a difference driving without one and it scares me sometimes. Thanks!

Your best bet is a u-pull-it junk yard. I've gone through two of them. They both ruptured right at the rear most bolt hole, obvious fatigue problem.

+1 on the junkyard idea.


I eventually went to the Eibach kit for front and rear and those are pretty stout pieces. Doubt they'll ever break.

If you drive down to Philly you can have my stock one for free. It's sitting in my parent's basement.

that seems to be pretty common. mine has broken and i have heard lots of people saying theirs broke too. i hear the cobra ones are thicker and more sturdy

This is a common problem. Knock on wood I've never had it happen to me though.
