I was changing my oil yesterday & noticed the metal clamp that goes over the passenger side front sway bar is cracked. I have another one, just want to paint it & switch it out. What would cause this to crack? I have a wonder bar & 34mm sway bar on an 84 Z28. Maybe I took corner too hard? Are these known to crack? Maybe stress/age? Just curious, thanks for any input

 

Stress and age, or maybe somebody used it as a jack point and it cracked.

 

Old age, most likely.

Just get a set of Energy Suspension or similar; they come with new ones anyway.

Replace the end links while you're at it. You WON'T BELIEVE the difference. You'll literally kick yourself in the butt for not doing it sooner.

 

thanks 4 all the replies, did put new energy suspension bushings on 10/2013 when I switched out the sway bar & new end link, It handles great, will chock it up to old age/stress & replace this weekend. This website is the best thanks again
