Hi guys, just now i found out that my rear right sway bar is broken. And I am planning to go road trip about 4000miles. Do you think its safe to go with that broken sway bar or its unsafe? thank you

It's a quick fix but it was a pain in da ass to get them cuz mine were rusted out... In da end I just dremeled it out and u shuld buy the expensive brand (cNt think of name right now... I kno it starts with M and it's blue/yellow box) they have lifetime warranty if they ever break again you get them for free

^ the brand is MOOG.

That's your endlink that is broken. It's not like a busted controlarm, you can most definetly drive on it. But for a 4k mile roadtrip, just fix it before you leave, it's an easy one really.

Dude if your going to sell the car I wouldn't even bother fixing it. It isn't a safety issue at all. I doubt you'll be doing any spirited driving on your trip so you wont even notice its broken.

Mines been the same way for two years now almost. I kept breking the same side for some reason, I will eventually fix it. lol.

Note: I've autcrossed and done plenty of spirited driving with the Galant on that broken endlink and it was fine. Though, my car would prolly handle a lot better if I fixed it. lol

mko has come up with a nice fix for this. I'd be willing to share but searching for the thread will probably be easier than explaining it. It's actually more of an upgrade than it is a fix.

good to hear you replaced it.
Just so you know, the DE trim level for the Galant didn't even come with sway bars, so yeah it's okay to drive without them attached.
