It is a common weak spot in old Vanagons more so where it is prone to rust. The link breaks where the treads start. Look for one at a junk yard, or in The Samba Classifieds for someone parting a Vanagon out. I've know a few people who had cars with broken sway bars, made thumping noises but didn't degrade it enough to cause an accident. Don't get me wrong you need to fix it ASAP.

:D first go to the gallery and post the picture there(under other vw's) then, when you post in forum, go to the gallery and view the picture(will not work from thumbnail) and then right click on it, and copy it. then go to your message and hit the img button, paste your picture, and hit the close tags thingie.... :twisted: :twisted:
