so after my buttonwillow event i noticed a clicking noice coming from my rear end thought it was my triling arm bushins but on a closer look it was the base of my sway bar



heres a better pic of the damage


so now heres where i need your input the pice that came off the sway bar is pretty much junk

here



so i was thinking of using this bit that came off and getting another piece of metal and welding it; however, idon't think this would help it from hapining again. so do i reinforce where the sway bar bolts up to the car or do i get the asr brace. i really don't want to put it back if its gana happen again. so thanx for any help

 

ohh just click on the pics to make them bigger

 

to me it looks like your gonna need a new subframe! what size bar were you using and did you have any reinforcement kit at all?!

 

this is the reason you buy the asr brace. thank god for cutting corners!!! lol

 

damn what size swaybar did you have on?

your gonna need a new subframe for sure + some kinda of subframe brace.

 

you need a new subframe. Its a pretty pricey repair. Try to get a ctr subframe, its stronger then and of the usdm subframes.

 

You know, I have ran into this no matter what sway bar I use... Have a decent shop weld the cracks and weld in some braces.

 

no brace i bet that he was running a 19 or bigger mm sway.

i bought myself a comptech brace and sway

 

ASR FTW

 

yes it was 21mm sway bar and thanx RHD_BB4T thats what i was thinking i guess u learn about these things the hard way sucks but thanx. if anyone has anyone has more input please help
