[Vwdiesel] Transporter anti roll bars

[Chris Collin]

Rod, I drove around for about 500 miles with a broken link just like that.  I couldn't tell 
the difference from my other van except for a clanking noise on corners sometimes.
Never really had her in a huge side wind where the sway might have been a little more intense.
The van had a catastrophic waterboxer blowout in the meantime and is now a storage shed.
The part was $50 US then and $100 US now.  Part #251 411 051a.

Hi all... a small problem with my syncro transporter. Must of hit a bump a
bit too hard and snapped off the end of the short tie bar where it attaches
to the bottom yoke. The anti roll bar seems to be in three parts, the main
bar and two end ties. The ties seem to be attached by a rubber bush that is
pushed over the end of the roll bar. To replace the whole bar looks very
expensive and scrap parts are impossible to find locally.

How long would you drive for with only one side attached...? (slowly and
sensibly of course...)

And I presume I can change the bush and bar without any weird tools from
VW....

Thoughts please...
