So I managed to snap my stock sway bar 2 months ago and it took me a good 8 hours to replace it with the redesigned (solid instead of tube) one. Now today I had an oppertunity to get the car high on a lift for once and inspect stuff. Low and behold the new rubber mounts for the sway bar are already cracking and coming apart.... I can't imagion how bad they are gonna get this winter..... instead of getting mad I'll just look at it as a forced excuse to replace with upgraded poly mounts...
buyer beware of the rubber that comes with the after market replacement sway bars.... I would have been better off reusing the stock rubber
I feel better now
