Look what I'm missing! (Scary Pics!) I'm getting ready to head out to the garage and replace it! The other side is okay but I figured if I'm going to do one, might as well do both. No wonder the car looked like it was tilted to the side..

That happened to me in the front. I was under the car doing an oil change and was like "WTF?! Oh **** i'm missing....." Made the car handle sloppy but was great for launches.

$6.49 each for the Duralast with polyurethane bushings and lifetime warranty. I picked them up at Auto-Zone. I have been noticing for awhile that the car looked like it was tilted slightly to the passanger side.. but nobody else could see it.
Anyway, just finished up both sides but I won't be able to see a difference until I get my car off of the jack stands. Ya know the old story.. when you fix one thing then something else breaks? As I was removing the lug nuts one was stuck and the wheel stud snapped in half.

Hey man, I'm from the Green Township/Western Hills area. I now live right next door in Dearborn County Indiana. I travel into Delhi every weekend to see friends and do shopping. I'm on NKYFBA.. What part of the tri-state are you in?

Actually, I doubt that would cause the car to sag. Once the link broke, the sides of the car are now "independent" to do what they please, as the sway bar is no longer tying them together. I would definitely replace the links, but also look around for anything else that might be amiss.

When the driver side link bolt was missing there was such a huge gap that I had to use a bottle jack to lift it about 3-4 inches just so I could install the new link bolt. I can see where it might cause the car to lean to one side, on the other hand what you said does make sence. I inspected everything underneath for about a half hour and couldn't find any other problems. Then again when it comes to suspensions I am not the most knowledgeable person..
