[MBZ] 126 RF STABILIZER FAILURE ADVICE NEEDED

[Dan Weeks]

After applying the brakes hard at about 5mph, I heard a bang. 
Checked under the car and the RF stabilizer (I've heard them called 
"Torsion bars" on this list) had snapped off at the outer end. Rust 
under the bushing did it in, I think. Anyway, my indy's about to give 
me a quote for parts and labor, but he didn't have a time estimate 
for it available to him, so he seemed less than sure how much to 
charge, or how long it would take. Anyone done this or had it done 
and know what's reasonable? He also wanted to suggest doing the other 
side, which I'm inclined to decline. THoughts on that appreciated, 
too.

TIA!
Dan
