I need find a new right side sway bar. Is that the same as a control arm?

I had alignment done today and it was a no go due to bad lower left side ball joint and right side sway bar. They said the bushings are gone. Thats what they told me.

I cant find a new right side swaybar anywhere. I found a complete assy of a sway bar.

Sounds like your sway bar just needs new bushings. It's a common fix and not hard to do. Try looking for a bushing kit.

However... the sway bar has nothing to do with the alignment. The ball joint? YES. The sway bar? NO.

They said the swaybar is too loose for the alignment besides the lower balljoint. They said the alignment would jump all over the place with that bad swaybar. They is was so loose they could pickup on it by hand.

There full of BS. You can remove the anti sway bar and still perform the alignment.

I made a thread of a polyurethane kit I bought. I see if I can find it. The upgrade made a huge difference over stock.

Replace the bushings in it and you'll be fine.

Cool beans. You should be able to replace them all in a hour.

You still need the bushings that hold the bar to the frame.
