ben, etka shows three different versions (251 411 049F, J, and K), where the F version is for both sides in 86-mid 89, and the J and K are left and right for those which come after (cutoff VIN is 24-K-048 498). you're telling me the dealer wants $176 for ONE, not for the entire stabilizer assembly? if the above is true, then both sides are the same for an early van, and it is required to have the different parts for the later van? i ask because i have a setup out of an '87 and would like to help roger, but also want to leave myself with a spare (those dreaded words, just in case)...

thanks, bill
