Well, i tracked down the source of the percistant clanking from the rear that's happened ever since i've had the car. I thought it was something exhaust related at first but then i saw this when i had it up on the hoist...



It's broken on where its bolted to the suspension support arm. Looks like the metal was just sheared off. I know the car was in a wreck...pretty sure it was hit in the LH Rear wheel area. I'm wondering if it brock b/c of that.

In any case, now i know it's broken i wanna try to fix it. Got this pic from the the volvo parts program, but the stabilizer bar looks different from mine where it botls to the LH side of the car. Mine has a large bolt facing the rear of the car.



Also, should there be 1 or 2 bolts where it connects to the support arm? My lower bolt is in there still, but nothing was there on the upper.

How hard is this to change out? I have access to a hoist so have good access to most of it i think. I'm just not sure if the support arms need to come off.

 

Looks like it is time for some IPD sway bars. Get them and be happy. And while your at it, hit up QuickBrickMotorsports and get some of Slater's endlinks.

 

16 is the part you need. Can be changed out in about 15 minutes. No the Arms don't need to be removed.
