I got a 99 EM1. As a lot of you know that this model came with stock rear sway bar. Well the other day, I notice that the part where the bushing bolts on to the sub frame has broke off completely. Just that round piece where the bushing bolts on broke off.

My question for you guys is that, can I just put an ASR sub frame brace on and will it continue to work? OR should I Weld (If possible) it back together and install an ASR sub frame brace on top of that?


Any advice or suggestion is greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

 

Which piece broke?



#28 is part # 52308-S04-000 HOLDER, RR. STABILIZER $4.14 (holds the bushing (#29 to #30)
#30 is part # 52317-S04-000 BRACKET, RR. STABILIZER $9.67
#36 is part # 95701-08018-08 BOLT, FLANGE (8X18) $0.62 (holds #30 to the frame)
#35 is part # 93403-08020-08 BOLT-WASHER (8X20) $0.16 (holds #28 to #30)

 

#30 is broken off with part of subframe attached to it.






What do you think?

 

that looks like the subframe has torn away. the best way to fix it is to replace the subframe then install a subframe brace like the ASR. How low is our car? that type of damage is typical of a car that is lowered and a larger sway bar is added without running a shorter stroke shock.

 

the ASR brace attaches to the old sway bar holes so yea you need to fix it
take it to a bobyshop and see wet they can do good luck!
