I did a search and found out that this is a fairly common problem. Why does it happen? Pulling the swaybar sounds like a kind of kludgy fix that won't last very long. Does the swaybar normally move from side to side during normal operation? Are my old bushings binding up and not letting it return to the proper position? BTW, my car has 93k miles on it. Thanks for any help!
