Subject:Broken Stabilizer Link
From:Kevin Gilbert <kggilbert@MYACTV.NET>

While living beneath my 84 Westy (1.9, A/T) recently replacing the steel coolant pipes, I saw a broken passenger side stabilizer link. It is snapped where the threads begin. This is the curved version.

So, what's involved for replacement? Looks like plenty of bushings up front also need replacement. Can they be done gradually, over time, or should I find a front-end guy and replace the links and bushings same time? Can this job be done by the average owner with basic tools? And, if it was your money, what would you do?

Thanks.
Kevin
