Subject:      ISO anti-sway bar for 1983 Vanagon Westy

I've been perplexed at seeing my Vanagon Westy tilted over toward the drivers side. I would normally attribute this to old age and worn out springs, but these springs are GoWesty progressives that were installed 38,000 miles ago. They shouldn't be sagging.

The issue prompted me to stick my head under the car with a flashlight and it didn't take long to find a problem, if not THE problem. The anti-sway bar on the passenger side doesn't reach to the bushing. In fact it is broken off about three inches above the bushing, which of course has fallen out.

What are my options in years to replace this item, and does anyone have a spare?

Would a broken bar make the car sag to that side?

Thanks,

Jim
