Problem with rear

I was leaving my friends driveway and i heard some loud nosie in the left rear. I drove home very carefully and i went into my driveway and I heard alot wrose though. I found out that the stabilizer bar bolt on the right side snaped. Im going to replace that but the left side sags now. What could it be? Im really new to suspension so please help out i dont want to take it to a mechanic. thanks

maybe your stabilizer bar end links are just old. You see, when things det old they get broken. good time to get polyurethane sway (aka stabilizer) bar bushings and polyurethane end links. Easy modification to do with basic tools and really worth it.

Yes you can. I installed a wonder bar aka steering brace at the same time, so i can't tell exactly how big difference you feel. In my case steering feels more accurate and overal handling is much better. The best part is that it does not hurt your ride comfort.
