Hello,
When changing my brakes, I noticed the the sway bar link on the passenger's side is broken off at the top. It looks like the top bolt broke off. I have no idea when this happened, but I would like to know if it' safe to keep driving until I get out and get a new one.
I'm not sure how I would get this off with one of the bolts broken. I guess I would use a sawsall unless that's a bad idea for some reason. Looking at Advanced Auto, it looks like replacement parts range from ~$8 to ~$20. Is there any difference in these parts other than the price.
There seem to be two kinds of kits available. Some look like this kit,
Moog Stabilizer Bar Link Kit ($16)
and some look like this kit,
Moog Sway Bar Link Kit ($21)
I'm not sure which of these I need.
