Is it Broken???

Hey guys, just wanted some expert opinions before I go and order one from ZZP. Changed my oil and noticed this a few days ago. I think its cracked, just wanted to make sure it wasnt machined this way. The other side isnt like this. I started to soak the bolts with pb blaster already....

Re: Is it Broken???

Also, Does the replacement from ZZP come with the bracket to connect the stabilizer bar to the subframe? Or do I have to purchase these seperate? Any recommendations? Moog, ACDelco, other? Thanks a lot guys!

Yeah, actually looking at the sway bar. I see the plastic coating peeling off the sway bar links, but thats normal. The bushings underneith look ok. Actually the links are pretty much new with the lower controll arms.

Look at the stabilizer bar itself, I think its busted.....

Anyone know if the Stabilizer bar from ZZP comes with the subframe bushings? Or do I have to buy those seperate?

Re: Is it Broken???

I'm not sure Tim. Are you referring to the GMPP stabilizers bars offered? Best to check directly with ZZP. I recall it comes with the rubber endlink bushings but they are not polyurethane like the ones offered by Speedbuilt and SLP kits. Poly is optional from ZZP. For those other companies the bars come with the mid-point bushings and end links in poly. Replacement bars are normally thicker and the stock mid-point bushings typically won't work right.
