Rick Knoble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Which car?.... 126 is total PITA. 123 Not too bad. I have no clue about 201 or 124 chassis. IIRC someone here had one break on a 300sd and had their indy attempt a repair. I have no clue how well it is holding up. Under NO circumstances, continue to drive the car. The sway bar/ torsion bar is an integral part of the suspension.
