You’d think I would have noticed something…

    …especially logging a recent 600 mile round trip to Grand Marais. Looks like it has been broken for quite a while, too. Oh well. Glad I pulled off the rim to take a peak at the brakes!

    a little duct tape will fix that.

    If you can’t feel a difference with it broken, it probably doesn’t need to be there anyway.

    looks like a sway bar, you could drive with out fixing it “so they say”, I wouldn’t.
    But you could probably fix that yourself in a short afternoon

    I drove with mine broke for well over a year and that included winter offroading

    I had that once too and other than an occasional thunking noise over bumps I didn’t notice anything while driving… I told myself the thunking was normal

    Based on the rust, I’m pretty sure it’s been busted for quite some time

    Busted sway bar link. Standard on most vehicles starting at around 40,000 miles. Seems like low mileage, but I have replaced quite a few. Can cause premature tire wear and the occasional rattle over bumps. Nothing to worry about and a 15 minute fix.
