PT sway bar bracket broke
After over a year of performing to spec, my sway bar bracket on the passenger side just broke in half!
It made a really loud popping sound when i pulled out of a Ralphs driveway.
Take a look at the pics...

I've emailed Progress Technology and we'll see what they say (can't find a phone number for them).
Anyone ever have this happen to them?

mine lasted 12k miles
where did you source the part?
I'd like to get brackets that have the greasing holes...would be a nice upgrade if they fit the PT sway bars

I have Racing Beat sways, the front is 32mm and the bracket was an Energy Suspension P/N ENS-9-5166R. They carry other sizes also.

Same exact thing happened to me last friday; the break looks almost identical too. I ordered these:

and just installed them today. Hopefully they last longer than the originals.
