Subject:      A sharp metallic SNAP...

It is the stabilizer link...  I had to replace this on my '82 Diesel.


81 thru Nov. '84 use the same part.  After that, it is a different
part...


They can be re-cycled, if you find one in a junkyard.  Also, left or
right does not matter.


If you remove the broken piece (so you do not harm aything else) you
can drive the vanagon.  Handling will be much worse.


Good luck,
Cetin
