OUCH! LoL

I imagine you blast that rocket into the corners Seth! I have, however snapped 2 brackets on my rear sway bar, mine have always been the end link brackets. I have never seen the center bracket fail like that! You must have really torqued it!

I think the grand am crowd needs beefier products made with better design taking in the knowledge that we learned with these?

GregFarz78 · 10-13-2003, 04:00 PM

Are those the ES bushings? You must be pounding on those things they were pretty beefy looking to me.

iceman · 10-13-2003, 04:21 PM

yeah they were.. and uhm.. come on, you've seen how I drive

I blame the driving habits of Corkie. Or it could be too many staged Focktard pictures with Tony in the back that caused it to snap.

naich · 10-17-2003, 06:38 AM

i wanna see a pic with milk to prove its real

iceman · 10-17-2003, 06:53 AM

How about a pic of my ass on a pink alero

iceman · 10-20-2003, 06:35 AM

OK.. Replaced the bracket, I'll have to grease these things more often to keep that happening again

10-20-2003, 10:01 PM

I had the same problem. Had the ES brackets and they broke. They are junk as far as I'm concerned. REAL JUNK. I used the stock brackets and the Next Level bushings and greased them like mad and it is better the ever.

iceman · 10-21-2003, 08:24 AM

I disagree.. I just don't lube them regularly, and I drive like a madman around corners :/

iceman · 11-18-2003, 09:49 AM

forgot about these pics.. anyways snapped in two

iceman · 11-18-2003, 09:50 AM

also I know people were asking before what the modified energy suspension bushing bracket looks like.. here it is

MIAaron · 11-18-2003, 03:03 PM

When it snapped, did it make a heavy pop/thud noise, followed by a noise that sounds like a spring being sprung? That happened this weekend and now my rear passenger area feels loose when driving. What did your car feel like after it happened?

iceman · 11-18-2003, 03:06 PM

Made a clunking/popping noise back there whenever I hit a bump and the rear end was not as tight.

PACE · 11-18-2003, 03:06 PM

Grease....lube....then insert.

^you must be really bored at work today eh?
