What are we looking at here? 170,000 miles? Sounds like you need a new sway bar with endlinks, new rear trailing arms (stock ones bend), new lower control arms would be nice (ball joint wears out, cheap enough and easier to replace the whole thing), maybe new tie rods, fresh struts and springs, an alignment, tire fill, balance, and rotation...

I just posted a reply and noticed I had another response. I've looked at new sway bars, and being strapped for cash, I was told it would be alright for a while to let it slide for the time being, but I only work with the guy. Not long enough to fully trust anything he says yet... Could having a cracked sway bar actually end up making things worse?

It'll drive crappy with a cracked sway. Your car weighs a lot. You're now putting all that pressure on a part that's now too weak for it (and kind of was pretty weak brand new). But it'll still drive. Most people drop $80 on the thicker solid Dorman bar, I think.Originally Posted by mrcaskey

Yeah, the sway bar isn't just cracked. There is about an 3/4'' chunk missing from it. Thanks for the information btw. Is there a way to check the control arm as to how bad it is? I plan on hopefully getting the sway bar and rods replaced first, might as well do both.

I thank you...
