This morning while slowly driving over a curb, I had a loud bang in the back by the right wheel. I immediately stopped and found this on the floor.

My questions are:
- Does it belong to the S2000 or did I drive on it and made it jump against the car?
- If it belongs to my car, can I drive like this? (City and highway, not like a race driver and no VTEC of course)
- Bonus: What is it?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Looks like either front or rear sway bar end link, it does affect the handling of the car but during normal driving it should not cause any immediate dangers.
Check part# 8 and 9

Thanks a lot for the reply and indeed, you are right, rear sway bar link. Passed by the garage as I dared to drive and I'll have both sides replaced next week.

Hey...at least it was the rear. Just will induce a little understeer until you get the part replaced

canaris

What happens if you loose a front one? Dangerous behaviour?

RedCelica

It would induce a good bit of oversteer, yeah not safe! Rear I wouldn't worry too much about, but do get it fixed ASAP.

Stupid design,
i glued one of mine back in until I replaced both,lasted for a few more months

I was just curious what loosing the front one would do

I replaced them both this morning ;-)
