this happen few days ago over the weekend.... the bracket of the right side rear racing beat sway bar broken on me for no reason!!! now it is making FREAKING LOUD NOISE :mad: and the sway bar is really 'swaying' up and down!!!


I don't know what might have caused it to break but I haven't been doing any spirit driving or hard cornering. just normal daily driving. anyone had this happen to their MSP before??


so, I took it down to the dealership and whine about it so bad.... they took off the broken bracket so at least it doesn't make that loud noise anymore. now have to wait for parts to come in and get it fix. yet another chance to waste my time.....

(argh)

there's a screw that bolts the clamp onto the chassis of the car via this big brace that goes from left wheel to right.....hard to explain. On my mp3, I went over a bump very slowly, but the screw got pulled right out, stripped the entire brace and broke the bracket. It was REALLY REALLY Loud.

Like REALLY Loud.

So yeah, been there done that.

yeah, I was driving the car at the time it broke on me. It was so loud that I think my whole muffler was broken and hitting things up and down! I am glad that the noise is gone for now since they removed the broken bracket.... hopefully it won't break again after the replacement..... arhhhh.....

you can drive around without the sway bar on with no issues.

Good luck man
