Stabilizer Bar

How do I post a picture of my problem? It says at the bottom of the screen "I may not post attachments",,its kinda hard to explain my problem but it looks like my stablizer bar is out of shape or bent where it connects to the bar link,but i'm not sure if its normal or not thats why I wanted to post a pic to see if its alright or not or dangerous.Its a 2000 2.5 2 wheel drive...

Well the sway bar (stabilizer bar) is curved. I dont see damage to it. What I do see is that your end link, the connection between sway bar and lower control arm is broken! Old one off will probably take some sweat, muscle, vice grips and ratchet. Might need to resort to a cut off tool (saw, grinder, etc). new one should be available at parts stores. Called "end link" or "sway bar end link" or "stabilizer bar end link". Fairly cheap.

Welcome aboard! Post up/add your sig/location etc. That will make it easier for us to direct you to the stuff you need (dont want to tell someone in Tasmania to stop into autozone now do I?)
