Hi All,

I finally got around to doing some much-needed maintenance on my 1999 Suburban K2500. To my surprise I had broke the front sway bar on one side directly behind the eyelet and the other side looked like the eyelet was about to break off too. I primarily use the truck for towing my enclosed trailer these days so that may be why I never really noticed it before. In looking through the posts, I'm not sure what to replace it with. The Hotchkis looked nice but I couldn't find a listing for a 2500, only a 1500. I'm not sure why the front sway bar would be different.

Any opinions or suggestions?

No chance of that, it's all rotted. The one side of the ruse broke in half; the other side actually looks like it split. Both ends of the sway bar are toast.

No opinions on a new sway bar that's better than a stock replacement? Preferably something with urethane bushings?
