Default Steering Stablizer

I felt something funny when I pulled in the driveway today. I think I figured out what it was! I have NO idea how it happened, I was only on hard pavement absolutely no off road...

That's wierd... somehow it must have binded up, and ended up wanting to bend rather than compress.... What'd you replace it with?

They don't work very well in that shape..... I do believe they are supposed to be pretty straight...

Yep. Pretty sure it's the stabilizer bro. Cuz the thread is titled "steering stabilizer." Also he said "I have NO idea how it happened," which leads me to think he might not be sure how it happened.

2x I just replaced it with the Autozone lifetime warranty deal. To others, that was my attempt at some humor, i figured with the title and pic it would explain itself, guess not. I'll try harder next time!

The picture wasn't showing at the time I wrote my comment which is why I was a tad confused. It makes sense with the picture
