is it just me or should this link actually connect to something? I dont know much about these multi-link jobbies...but i dno i cant see what it does by just hanging out there..

i dno maybe its supposed to just hang there...

Thats the sway bar link that should be connected to the hub on the back with
an arm.

I think that without this, your car will be unstable and tilt
more than usual at rear, in turns.

Not sure which car in the image, but I think this should be
the correct part?;

I noticed your shock absorber housing is broken too, perhaps the rear wheel hit something hard and broke the link. In any event, you should get a link and replace before further damage occurs.

wow i did have a little nasty run in a few months ago, i dont know if that broke that or not. i wonder if the other side is gone too. sheesh

thats not a stock sway bar. its from a evo2 iirc does it require a special link? or will the regular 190 link work?

thanks

i do wonder if this was broken before my run in as this is the first time i've had these wheels off since i bought the car. the lack of those pieces might explain the nasty run in a bit better.
