Thread: This is a crack, right?

Rock Auto has the Dorman bar 33mm for $78 plus $11 shipping. Love that place. Thanks guys for answering my question. I was pretty sure it was cracked but I don't have too much experience on front end stuff.

Got the new bar in today, first time I ever changed a sway bar. For anyone looking to do this fix, here's how it went. My car is a 99 GTP, stock. Ordered the Dorman bar from Rock Auto on a Sunday, got it Wed. (Rock Auto rocks!) Jacked up the car, used jackstands under each side of the cradle. removed both tires, and started on removing the links. The pass side link was rusted pretty good, PB blaster and a few whacks with a hammer got it loose. Drivers side link dropped through by itself. The bushings took some time to get off, not much turning possible with a ratchet in the space they are in. Wrestling the bar out of the car was the real p.i.t.a. Took me a good 45 minutes of trying to wiggle it out before I gave up. Removed the outer tie rod on the drivers side, and relocated the jackstands to the floor jack points so I could lower the cradle a bit. Once I did that, I was able to finally wrestle it out. Putting the new one in was surprisingly easy. It took only a slight twist to get it in place. Once it was in place, putting in the new links and bushings in was pretty straightforward. Again, tightening the bolts on the bushings took awhile, as clearance is very strict. FYI the Dorman bar has a label so you don't install it upside down. Once it was in, I raised the cradle back up, reconnected the tie rod, put wheels back on, and all was good. Took a test ride, no more clicking! Thanks again to the forum for having all the info I needed to do this myself.
