NOTHING LED UP TO THE FAILURE, IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I NOTICED MY CAR STARTED SWAYING AND "FLOATING" I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND LOOKED UNDER THE LEFT REAR TO SEE THAT THE SWAY BAR SNAPPED AT THE JOINT, AND THE SWAY BAR LINK HAD DISCONNECTED. THE RUBBER BUSHING IS STILL IN THE ARM, BUT NOT THE BOLT. CAN'T FIND A NEW SWAY BAR, BUT I HAVE A REPAIR KIT FOR THE LINK. THIS INCIDENT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO DRIVE OVER 20 MPH WITH WHEEL SHAKING. CANNOT REVERSE AS WELL. *TR
