I think I am missing something.

Is it just me, or am I missing something? Possibly, the Sway bar?
Got the car up on the ramps yesterday to fix the exhaust, and I noticed, what looks to be the sway bar location, has nothing there.

The ride is actually great. If I didnt remove the mufflers, I probably would have never noticed.

Get a sway bar on there and see how the vette is really supposed to handle. I recommend that you install Z06 bars as long as you're at it. That's a great upgrade. It will feel like a totaly different car.

WOW!...I know with mismatched sways (Z06 and stock), you can
get a good amount of over/understeer. Yours must be hell to corner.

Check to see if you have a front sway missing as well.

Looks like the plastic end-links broke and it just fell off, as posted above.

By the looks of the underside,is it possible that car has been wrecked and the sway bar not reinstalled?

I upgraded mine to Z06 sway bars and I still have the originals if you're interested.

You can have my old sway bars just pay for shipping.They are the regular stock ones. IF you have the means I recommend upgrading to Z06 ones at min.

thanks for the offers on the stockers, but I figure whatever the reason for it not being there, is just a good reason for me to upgrade.

Also with the Z06 sways you get the aluminum (?) links beside the stock rubber ones. I also upgraded to Z06 shocks. Made for a little stiffer ride, but cornering is much improved.
