just wondering, i felt a knocking sound from the frount of my car for the past week.

looked underneath and the swaybar mount was missing :( wtf?????????????????

removed the swaybar and its links, just seems the same as before so far...........

a bit less harsh and even quieter than usuall............


it needs new wheel hubs new swaybar links and lower control arms :)

It feels same because the sway bar is ineffective without the mounting. You will see a BIG difference when it's repaired

For $15 you just get junk which does not last very long. I have tested it. Plasic cover behind the ball popped off, all grease gone and part was waste. Buy Meyle in this case
