lazing on a sunday afternoon

not quite the relaxing lie down i was looking forward to.I spotted something hanging down underneath the car & thougt at first it was a hose.The front anti roll bar has snapped clean through - just like the rear a couple of years ago.Nice & easy to get off , a 19 mm ring spanner & 8mm allen key. top tip - crack open the drop link nut with a socket & breaker bar - the whole thing will turn without the allen key but this will release the friction on the nut.

Blimey, that's some bar to snap like that! It must have been cracking progressively for some time I would guess, otherwise it would have gone with a major bang!

Lucky you spotted it before it did any further damage, dangling like that...

I think it was cracked for sometime judging by the colour of the metal
