Broken Link

[enginph]

Found this today:

 

 

 

This is the link that connects stabilizer bar to driver side suspension. It looks easy to change so i am gonna try doing myself. Only thing is when I raise driver side, it is not aligned with the arm that it connects. I assume raising the passenger side would align it. Could the dangling stabilizer bar damage anything there? It causes some clunking or now I think the clunking comes from it.

 

I checked the tie rod ends and they dont move however there is a slight move when i shake the passenger side holding 7:05. I couldnt see any part moving, what could it be? My strut boots are torn but hard to change, will keep for now.

 

Anything else to renew and easy to do?

yeah the mazda links seem very poorly designed and always under pressure to break like that, should be an easy change. No idea on cost though

there like $32

 

you have to put a jack under the front suspension and put pressure on it so the suspension comes upward; and then maybe a lever to force the swaybar down to connect it

Or simply jack up both sides. That takes the strain off the swaybar.

Thats what I think. I wonder if it damaged anything. Where is Ren ?

That is unlikely.
