I hit a very small pothole. Heard clunking and rubbing noises. Was told sway bar was cracked right in half, not to drive the car because it would create tension on other parts. Had car towed. Sway bar was replaced. Owner of the garage that did the work said this repair was quite common in this car.

problem #1

Grand Prix

  • miles
Torsion bar rusted under bracket, nearly snapped in two. Wheel was held to frame only by strut. Two mechanics told me they "have never seen anything like this in their career as a mechanic" both with over 20 years experience. GM says its normal wear and tear. My mechanics believe it was inferior part that is expected to hold the wheel to the frame.
