Front stabilizer bar

Post by ROBBMAG »

Anyone out there around Western Pa have a front stabilizer bar that isn't snapped off at the control arm after some extreme off roading like mine? Or know where to find one? Man are parts hard to find for this thing! Parts store dudes just look at me funny when I ask about it. I was actually able to limp it home as long as I didn't touch the brakes. It had a tendency to swerve into oncoming traffic when the brakes were applied. :shock:

Well - terkill might have it; he's in CT.
You might query this fellow; he's parting out 2 Wagons in IA. Be warned that his prices so far on interior bits are pretty ridiculous... http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Lennysshop- ... Z1QQ_sopZ1
Somone in OH is also parting out a car: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1983-198 ... 240%3A1318

You can find one here: http://www.car-part.com/ I found one in Oregon I think...but with shipping I paid almost as much as for a new one at Butler Toyota....though I did get a decent set of the "end of the bar" and the front bushings with it. Why would I buy from Oregon?....out of the rust belt....best prices.

2 things you need to watch...make sure your "new" bar isn't as rusty as the old...used bars can be tweaked since some Tercs have had a front end crunch.
