Probably just slowly vibrated out. I've done some wild **** with my car, never broke that part.

 

look at it this way, you’ll handle and carve the corners a little better after fixing it though!

Is it broke, or did you just lose the bolt? It’s hard for me to tell from the images, it just looks like the bracket came off and is hanging due to the missing bolt.

 

The forward bolt apparently departed the chat and that allowed the bracket to get bent back 90 degrees. The rear bolt is still there and finger tight.

 

The bolts just vibrated out and possibly broke during the process. The sway bar sees a lot of stress. I have seen them rip off the lower controll arm. Almost every time I nut and bolt the car I find something needing attention. For the critical joints I stripe the fasteners with paint making it easy to see if something is moving.

 

Apparently checking more than just the lugnuts is something I need to add to the pre-event prep checklist.

When the new brackets go on, they're getting someblue loctite.

 

Once a year, depending on how many events you do, should be good. Grab a little paint pen to make it easier the next go around.

 

Funny. I was in process of changing front hubs / studs and noticed that this bolt on the sway bar had moved. Tightened and marked. Good timing.

 

I got the mounts out this evening after work. Honestly, the driver's side wasn't as bad as it looked initially. The passenger side was bent a bit, too. I'm guessing that's because it had to take up the driver's side load.

The Steeda brackets are very beefy!

I cleaned up the bushings/bars on both sides and got the new mounts in and properly torqued. A test drive showed a flatter car, unsurprisingly!

 

Glad you got it fixed up
