The roads here have tons of potholes. Last week I turned a corner, and then heard a loud pop and then lots of thumping sounds from the right front tire area, especially when turning. My 1998 4-dr red Grand Prix GT had a broken sway bar! The mechanic said it was broken in two places and was unsafe to drive that way. Also needed ball joint and bushing on right front passenger side. $560 later it was all fixed in one day. Was that a decent price to pay? Mechanic said he can't believe how GM makes sway bars that are not one solid piece, but are pieced together, making them more susceptible to breaking. He said the GM sway bars breaking is a common problem. Why doesn't GM make it one solid bar? My best friend owns a 2003 GP and she had the same problem with hers, even though it is much newer than mine. Have you other Grand Prix owners experienced this same problem?
