I was driving down I-635, when all of a sudden I heard what sounded like a rock hitting my undercarriage. I've immediately noticed that something was wrong with my suspension. The truck started pulling to the right and suspension got softer all of a sudden. After I got home I checked the undercarriage and noticed that my front driver side sway bar link was completely missing on the driver side. Passenger’s side link was still there. So this morning I drove to my dealership (Showcase Chevrolet), which is not even a 1-mile away from my house, to pick up a new front sway bar link; when the other one snapped too. So I had to buy 2 of them. It was $26 for each one. I just got through replacing them. It took approximately 15 min to install. I took the truck for a test drive, and boy does it ride a lot better, it handles great and it does not pull to the right anymore nor does it sake too.
Last time I was at 4 Wheel Parts Store they told me that I would have to replace my tie-rods, but I think that I won’t have to since this appears to have fixed the vibration problem that I had after rotating the tires.

Yep, actually last Thursday around 11:00 am, I did several doughnuts and some burn -offs. I thing this is what caused it to snap, because shortly after I took a drive down I- 635 and I heard the links fall-off.
