Is it rare for a stock to get DW? Seems kinda strange to me. Mine shook but, not enough to notice or care about seriously.

So it could be the sway bar link?
Oh and how can I check my track bar?

Thanks

Not likely to be the sway bar, but with the link broken any vibe from the tires will be amplified. fix the link and go from there! Have somebody rock the steering wheel back and forth while you eyeball everything underneath- slight movement in joints- probably ok. any movement In the trackbar( side to side) Get a new one

Cool i'm going to the dealer tomorrow to see if they have one or if they can order one. How can I get it off if its rusted on? I don't have a torch. Is there a specific type of penetrating oil I can use? I have triflo for my bike parts.. but I don't think its strong enough. After i get that fixed i'm going to have a couple friends look at it and see if I need a new track bar.
