I thought I'd share these pics. I never believed that a sway-bar would break. Anyone else seen this before?

Curious what the bar ends that are in the arm look like.
I would expect it to break there given that is the reaction location for the bending load. Once you add the combined torsional load on you can really jack up the stresses in a Mohr's circle. You must have reached it's high cycle fatigue limit-wow. |
