Can I still drive if that fail on me? I could imagine its not the best idea to drive without a sway bar or am I wrong? | | | 08-15-2012, 01:20 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Horseheads, NY Posts: 259 | I had the same thing happen to me. Both sway bar mounts rusted & broke. I then had to remove the sway bar , cut out & grind down the old one & have someone weld the new ones in. Took about 3 weeks to have that all done & drove the car for that time without the sway bar. So yes, it can be done, but your car will not handle the same. There are a few threads about it under my username and my sons username: teenti. | | | 08-15-2012, 01:46 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | Fix it ASAP. __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 08-15-2012, 02:04 PM | #4 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Multiple threads with pics and part numbers have been posted. | | | 08-16-2012, 01:04 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Horseheads, NY Posts: 259 | I agree, Fix it ASAP. I was just stating earlier that it can be done. As I said, I drove it for 3 week without & I drove VERY easily. It is not that hard of a fix & earlier threads have an excellent DIY for this. Good Luck. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
